LOTR--Now and for Always

"Now and for Always" from the musical. Shown at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London.

Characters: Frodo and Sam

Lyrics:
[SAM]
Sing me a story of heroes of the Shire
Muddling through, brave and true
Stubborn as bindweed and tough as old brier
Never too showy or grand
Year after year they persevere
Now and for always
Harfoots who planted, and Stoor folk who ploughed
Bred to endure, slow but sure
Fallohide blood in your veins makes you proud
Sturdy and steady they stand
True to their aim to stay the same
Now and for always

[FRODO & SAM]
Sit by the firelight's glow
Tell us an old tale we know
Tell of adventures strange and rare
Never to change
Ever to share
Stories we tell will cast their spell
Now and for always

[SAM]
Sing me a story of Frodo and the ring
Fearless and bold

[FRODO]
Tired and cold

[SAM]
Sword at his side
An elf blade called sting
Crossing a miserable land
Wouldn't retreat
Just followed his feet
Now and for always

[FRODO & SAM]
Sit by the firelight's glow
Tell us an old tale we know
Tell of adventures strange and rare
Never to change
Ever to share
Stories we tell will cast their spell
Now and for always

[FRODO]
Sing me a tale of the bravest of them all
Comrade and guide, at my side
Stouthearted Sam who wouldn't let me fall
Holding my life in his hand
True to the end, no finer friend
Now and for always

[FRODO & SAM]
Sit by the firelight's glow
Tell us an old tale we know
Tell of adventures strange and rare
Never to change
Ever to share
Stories we tell will cast their spell
Now and for always

Who sings this song?

[JediLegacy]

@Serenamcflyfan It's sung by Sam (Peter Howe) and Frodo (either James Byng or James Loye).

[dani4ever92]

does anyone know if the frodo from October 2007 (in London) James Byng is, or was that someone else?

[JediLegacy]

James Loye was the original Frodo (in both Toronto and London), and James Byng was his understudy. I believe he eventually took over for Loye, but I could be wrong. You might want to check Wikipedia.

[Fiyero06]

is this from the london recording? it doens't sound like Peter or the original Frodo

[JediLegacy]

Yes, this is the version shown in London. I saw it in late June/early July, and it's the same people, believe me.

[FreeSpirited5]

Its this kind of music that really warms the heart. It's simply lovely.

[TangledWebWeWeave]

Almost makes me want to be a hobbit!

Cool song! 5/5

[Bunnyhop777]

This should be Frodo & Sam's theme song. Such a beautiful friendship.

[vodkaROULES]

[ChloeChum]

I have been waiting YEARS for this to come to Australia! It can't happen soon enough, it's just beautiful.

[Hunter7471]

@TangledWebWeWeave dancing on the tables drinking ale, singing songs about drinking and home, being in the beautiful shire, no troubles, no obligations and feeling free. I know what you mean!
