******************************

Heart To Heart

VERSE 1:

Words won't tell me what's in your heart
I can't believe what you say
Eyes can't see what thoughts you hide
You feel so far away

All the looks that you give to me
Don't reveal that much it seems
All the love that you offer me
Only fuels my silent scream

But when you're near me I hear my heart
Beating out the words so clear
Something changes each time we touch
The hesitation disappears

CHORUS:

Heart to heart, face to face
Heart to heart, to heart

Heart to heart, face to face
Heart to heart, to heart

VERSE 2:

Lies aren't worth the breath they take
Don't fool the lucky few
Nights can't hide the doubts they bring
Till I'm alone with you

Day by day it's a compromise
Never read between the lines
Night by night it's a waiting game
Don't ignore the warning signs

But when you're near me I hear my heart
Beating out the words so clear
Something changes each time we touch
The hesitation disappears

CHORUS:

Heart to heart, face to face
Heart to heart, to heart

Heart to heart, face to face
Heart to heart, to heart

question is this the only song from the movie? or is there more

[emjoi665]

This is the only full song featured in the movie, playing as the closing credits roll. Of course there is more orchestral music in the movie but a 'Playing Beatie Bow' soundtrack album was never issued.

In the book by Ruth Park some of the words to the game include:

'Oh, Mudda, what's that?'

'Nothing at all'

'The dog at the door'

'The wind in the chimney'

'The cow in the byre, the horse in the stall'

"It's Beatie Bow, 'risen from the dead!"

Fantastic book.
