What are the lyrics to the songs "My True Love's Eyes" and "Bumps and Hollows" that Lili sings in the Director's Cut of LEGEND??


Thanks to Cillista Slider for bringing the additional lines in the Director's Cut to my attention.

The lyrics for "My True Love's Eyes" were written by John Betts and first occur in the Director's Cut when Lili is introduced in the film.

Come white moss, weave us a carpet
Spreading oak make a shade where we lie.
Leaves and branches, whisper a love song,
When I look in my true love's eyes.
Young as any spring, his eyes almost sing to me.

Next, Lili sings to the Unicorn.

Come down sparrow, sing me good morning.
Rise up sun like the arch of the sky.
Living river, turn light to diamonds
When I look in my true love's eyes.
Like a child feels watching a rainbow.
Like a bird feels the first time it flies.
I feel magic stirring within me,
When I look in my true love's eyes.
Young as any spring, his eyes almost sing.

Lili sings the song "Bumps and Hollows", also written by John Betts, to Jack to "chase his fears away" after the Unicorns have fled.

In the bumps and the hollows,
The sunlight and shadows.
He kissed her as those bluebells played.
As his lips met her breath,
He went sweetly to death
At the roots of the bluebells is where he's laid.

Finally, Lili sings to Jack at the end of the film.

Come down sparrow, sing me good morning.
Rise up sun like arch of the sky.
Living river, turn light to diamonds
When I look in my true love's eyes.


In the European Version of LEGEND, "My True Love's Eyes" loses a few lines. The first song occurs when Lili is introduced as she walks through the forest.

Come white moss, weave us a carpet
Spreading oak make a shade where we lie.
Leaves and branches, whisper a love song,
When I look in my true love's eyes.

More lyrics to the same song are found when Lili sings to the Unicorn as she walks up to touch it.

Living river, turn light to diamonds
When I look in my true love's eyes.
Like a child feels watching a rainbow.
Like a bird feels the first time it flies.
I feel magic stirring within me,
When I look in my true love's eyes.
Young as any spring, his eyes almost sing.

Finally, the song "Bumps and Hollows", also by John Betts, occurs when Lili sings to Jack to "chase his fears away."

In the bumps and the hollows,
The sunlight and shadows.
He kissed her as those bluebells played.
As his lips met her breath,
He went sweetly to death
At the roots of the bluebells is where he's laid.

Lili does not sing to Jack at the end of the film as she does in the Director's cut.
