The next day Suzie was late again but went straight to the
stage to begin practice. The band leader handed her a stack of sheet music.
"Some new tunes to work on today" he explained.
She sat down to flip through them, Them There Eyes, Night and Day, I'll Never Be the Same, They Can't Take That Away... she began to shake as she read the lyrics.
"I fell in love with you the first time I looked into them there eyes"
"Wheather near to me or far, its no matter darling where you arem I think of you night and day. Day and night, how is it so, this longing for you follows wherever I go; in the roaring traffic's boom, in the silence of my lonely room, I think of you, night and day."
"I'll never be the same, there is such an ache in my heart, I'll never be the same since we're apart; there's a lot a smile can hide, but I know deep down inside, I'll never be the same, be the same again"
She brushed angrily at an erant tear that had dared to escape.
"Let's start with Can't Take That Away. Suzie, you ready?" she noded mutely as she got up walked onto the stage pulling out the apropriate piece of music. She swallowed as the intro played then plunged into the song,
"The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No no they can't take that away from me
No they cant take that away from me"
As the song finished McGill started to clap, it had sounded marvelous, but he quickly stoped as he noticed his singer's stricken expression. Tears poured down her face and she shook uncontrolably.
"Suzie are you alright?" he asked nevervously
She looked up at him slowly with pain filled eyes
"Suzie?"
But she didn't respond, colapsing in a dead faint.
