Welcome Back Ann |
||
| After two long years how great it will be | ||
| To see once again the lovely Ann Breen | ||
| If to her shows you have never been | ||
| She is a Walking Piece of Heaven you have never seen. | ||
| So big a welcome back My Forever Friend | ||
| You know shows like this should never end | ||
| But end they must as on your way you go | ||
| To another venue to do another great show. | ||
 |
||
| It Takes People Like You to make people like us | ||
| Realise dear Lord That This Day Is Good | ||
| She gets the old feet tapping | ||
| Hands clapping high in the air | ||
| It's such a wonderful feeling | ||
| Just to be sitting there. | ||
| We'll just take One Day At A time Ann | ||
| Till we see you again next year | ||
| For people still love you and just cannot wait | ||
| To hear of your next concert and learn of the date. | ||
| Why oh why did you have to go | ||
| I think the answer to that we already know | ||
| You need time to spend with Your Beloved Son | ||
| After all the travelling and hard work you have done. | ||
| Among My Souvenirs I have memories to treasure | ||
| Along with many other things you simply cannot measure | ||
| I'll Always Remember You Love In My Prayers | ||
| And be with you Every Step Of The Way | ||
| For whenever I hear you singing | ||
| It brightens up my day. | ||
| Poem by Carol Redfern from Ashby-De-La-Zouch | ||
| A Welcome Back | ||
 |
||
| A few chosen words to welcome you on your return | ||
| For in all our hearts the embers of affection continually burn, | ||
| "When The Rivers All Run Dry, We'll Still Be Needing You" | ||
| The lyrics of a fabulous song and do they ring true, | ||
| This show has proved beyond all doubt, why we think so much of you | ||
| You have that certain something Ann, it shows in all you do. | ||
| More than two years have gone by since we saw you last, we've lived in hope you might | ||
| Tour again one day, now we've been rewarded, it's been a wonderful night. | ||
| "It's Good To See You, So Good To See You" to quote the great Brendan Shine | ||
| Moving onto another classic song, this one is a particular favourite of mine, | ||
| A trip to the Emerald Isle inspired Johnny Cash to write "Forty Shades Of Green" | ||
| The hillsides and the colours the likes of which he had never before seen, | ||
| Like him we've missed a lady, but ours was from County Down, now I'm an honest man, | ||
| The truth is, I would walk from home to Rosley Village Hall, just to see you Ann, | ||
| I remember you singing that lovely gospel song, "My Forever Friend" | ||
| We're pleased you've made this comeback, extending your career, we're nowhere near the end. | ||
| Poem by Alan Thornbarrow from Penrith. | ||

||
| To Ann Breen | ||
| ( So Glad You're Back) | ||
| Thanks for the memories Ann, | ||
| For bringing them back once again, | ||
| Thanks for the tour we've been waiting for, | ||
|
Thanks for the music and song.
|
||
| Since you've been away, | ||
| All we can say | ||
| Is that your retirement | ||
| Really has lasted too long. | ||
| Poem by Peter Clawson from Grantham. | ||
