The Song Page #2

But he splits you down

The middle

It's time to give good love

A try

Hey!

Yeah, it would be such a pity

Just to split you fifty-fifty

Especially some guy

Who makes fun of my banjo

Shows up at a thing

With another girl

When he knows

You're gonna be here

Is scared of your dad

And breaks up

With the most beautiful girl

For the dumbest reason

In the world kind of guy

Hey, Rose

You and I will bloom

In no time

- Thank you for coming.

- Thanks.

That was an awesome show.

Thanks, appreciate it.

God bless.

Hi.

Wow.

That's really nice actually.

Here, I have something

for you too.

Oh. Yeah, this is great.

Thanks.

Really?

I think so.

But like I said,

I don't know

anything about music.

Everybody knows something

about music.

Very little, in my case.

What's your favorite

Beatles song?

Everybody has a favorite.

"Strawberry Fields Forever,"

"Hey Jude."

Well, I've always really liked

"Turn! Turn! Turn!"

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

- What? I love that song.

- I love that song too.

It's just not the Beatles.

- Yeah, it is.

- No, it's the Byrds.

- You're thinking of the Byrds.

- No.

- Agree to disagree.

- No, you'd still be wrong.

The lyrics are in the Bible.

Can we agree

that God wrote them?

Absolutely.

Too bad my song

isn't on here. Heh.

Never had my own song before.

You're probably gonna ask me

out again then, huh?

You know what? I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have asked

you out like that.

No, that's all right.

Not without talking

to your dad first.

- What?

- He seems like the kind of guy

that would appreciate

being asked.

For my hand in marriage maybe,

but one date?

We're gonna have more

than one date.

How do you know?

I know.

He's busy with clean-up.

Monday?

- Monday.

- Good.

You're gonna need a day

to prepare.

Mr. King,

I don't know you.

That's true, sir.

And you can call me Jed,

if you like.

So, what makes you think I

should let you date my daughter?

At the very least,

Mr. Jordan,

you know that I'm the kind of

guy that's willing

to ask a very intimidating man

if I could date his daughter.

No, that says more about me

than it does you.

I just want you to know

that I respect you

and that I respect Rose.

You sing about God in

your songs, don't you?

I sing about things

that I'm passionate about.

- Like Rose?

- You heard that, I guess.

I love Rose a lot.

And I have always

tried to protect her

from certain

kinds of men out there.

Just to be honest,

men like your daddy.

He sang about God too,

didn't he?

I know he made mistakes,

Mr. Jordan,

but he learned from them.

So did I.

I won't repeat them.

So I'm not gonna lie,

your dad freaked me out

just a little bit.

Well, you're gonna have

to tell me all about it,

because I wasn't listening.

- Oh, no?

- Nope.

Okay. Uh...

Well, since you

weren't listening,

I'll give you the highlights.

He loves you a lot,

and he has quite the collection

going on in that room.

Ha, ha. Yeah.

- It wasn't great.

- Heh, heh.

So, yeah, I was basically raised

by my father and two brothers.

But they weren't cut out

for wine making, so they bailed.

You think you'll ever bail?

No.

No, I love it.

Yours skipped like 10 times.

- Well...

- How do you do that?

My dad, he was legendary

at slinging these things.

Lethal, some would say.

I don't know. I mean,

I guess I can find a career to

help me pay for all the stuff

I'll eventually throw away,

or leave to someone else,

but family's forever.

Right?

Agree to disagree.

And side-arm it, right?

And flick your wrist at the end.

Whoo! Ha-ha-ha!

There you go.

I did it.

You did it.

You have stolen my heart.

You have stolen my heart

with one glance of your eyes.

Oh, my goodness.

I don't think ice cream was such

a good idea. I'm freezing.

You done?

- Here, I got it.

- Brr!

- Okay.

- Wait right there.

You made me love you

And I did not wanna do it

- Come here.

- What?

- Let's dance.

- Oh. Ha-ha-ha.

Come on.

Come on, it'll warm you up.

- Oh, okay.

- Yeah.

You are such a schemer. Heh.

Give me, give me

What I cry for

You got the kind of kisses

I would die for

Show me your face.

Let me hear your voice.

For your voice is sweet,

and your face is lovely.

Ice cream was a good idea.

You made me love you

How delightful is your love?

How much more pleasing

is your love than wine?

Remember when we broke

the windows in this old house?

This is what I wished for.

This one's my favorite.

I've always loved it.

I love you truly

Truly, dear

You know,

I don't normally do this,

but here's one you might know.

I cannot hear

I have no sight

Dark is near

Blinding light

Can you hear me

When I crawl?

Catch me when I fall

'Cause I can't hold on

You were really great tonight.

I'm glad you think so.

- Everyone thought so.

- Well...

That last song, well,

people really liked that one.

- Oh, yeah.

- What?

That was my dad's song.

Oh...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't be, it's fine.

It's a good song.

You know, sometimes...

I think about

letting it go. Music.

I look at you...

tonight...

under the stars.

I mean, look.

I see God here.

If you could ask God

for anything,

and you know he'd say yes...

I'd want to be wise.

That way I can live right...

and really live.

And if I did sing,

it'd only be because

I had something to say.

You should just ask for that.

I won't listen. Go ahead.

God, I wanna be wise.

Please.

You feel any different?

You think your dad would let me

build a chapel here

at the vineyard?

Like the one in your book

with the sticky note thing.

Why would you want to?

So I could marry you.

I'll ask your dad.

Build the chapel.

Marry me.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Yeah!

Let me do this.

Let me build you a chapel.

How long will it take?

- A year.

- Oh. Uh-uh.

I can't wait that long.

I love you truly

Truly, dear

Life with its sorrows

Like a lily among thorns

is my darling

among the young women.

Fades into dreams

When I feel you near

I am my beloved's.

Oh, I love you truly

And my beloved is mine.

Truly, dear

How beautiful you are, my love.

How beautiful.

Your eyes are doves.

You are altogether beautiful,

my darling.

There is no flaw in you.

You're so beautiful.

I want you to know that.

Oh, I love you truly

Truly, dear

I've been waiting on you

To come along

Seeing notes on a page

But not the song

Had a hole in my...

- Hey.

- Hey.

You're up early.

I had a dream.

- A dream?

- Yeah.

About what?

Your new song.

- My new song?

- Mm-hm.

- Mm.

- It's good.

- You wanna hear it?

- Mm...

- I feel you should hear it.

- Maybe later.

Did you have something

else in mind?

Mm-hm. Yeah.

Something.

Me too.

You know what?

"Something"

is gonna be incredible

after you hear this song.

Trust me,

it'll take two seconds.

All right.

Sit down.

I've been waiting on you

To come along

Seeing notes on a page

But not the song

Had a hole in my heart

A pain so strong

Only a woman like you
