Lyrics------

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Where are all those adoring daring boys?
Where's the knight pining so for me
he leaps to death in woe for me?
Oh where are a maiden's simple joys?

Shan't I have the normal life a maiden should?
Shall I never be rescued in the wood?
Shall two knights never tilt for me
and let their blood be spilt for me?
Oh where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

Shall I not be on a pedestal,
Worshipped and competed for?
Not be carried off, or better st'll,
Cause a little war?
Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

Are those sweet, gentle pleasures gone for good?
Shall a feud not begin for me?
Shall kith not kill their kin for me?
Oh where are the trivial joys?
Harmless, convivial joys?
Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?

the pacing...... UR DOING IT WRONG!

[NBWConcertVideos]

It's most likely a different arrangement than one you are used to, she did it fine.

Just a tip...whenever you're done explaining the piece before you perform it, simply lower your head to pull yourself together. This way, you sort of get a moment to compose yourself and get into character, and the accompanist knows that, once you raise your head, you're ready to start. This is much smoother than looking over and having that almost awkward moment before you start. Good vocals!
