Robin Hood and Maid Marian's Till There Was You

ROBIN HOOD AND MAID MARIAN'S TILL THERE WAS YOU SONGFIC

**In Loving Memory Of Brian Bedford (1935-2016)**

Our songfic opens up at the heart of Sherwood Forest, where Robin Hood and Maid Marian have just managed to reach at the end of the "Love Goes On" sequence. Our two lover foxes embrace warmly as they enjoy the stillness of the evening.

MAID MARIAN: Oh, Robin, what a beautiful night. I wish it would never end.

ROBIN HOOD: So do I, Marian. So do I.

Robin and Marian then turn to gaze into each other's eyes as the music for "Till There Was You" from "The Music Man" starts up. Then they smile lovingly and begin to sing.

ROBIN HOOD: (singing)
There were bells on the hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you!

MAID MARIAN: (singing)
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you!

ROBIN HOOD AND MAID MARIAN: (singing)
And there was music
And there were wonderful roses
They tell me
In sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you!

As the song goes into a beautiful instrumental, Robin Hood and Maid Marian go into a slow dance which lasts until the music swells romantically and the two foxes gaze into each other's eyes once more as they finish their song.

ROBIN HOOD AND MAID MARIAN: (singing)
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you!

Robin Hood and Maid Marian throw their arms around each other and kiss on the lips. As soon as they let go, they look up to see the stars shining brightly. They remain locked in their warm embrace as the songfic draws to a close.

THE END!
