Dr Who filk - Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something New

[watervole]

  I wrote a Dr Who filk at Redemption.  It's set at Amy and Rory's wedding.  I was quite pleased about that, as my filk muse had dried up for a long time.  Being at a good, relaxing convention seems to have kicked it awake again.

The tune is an old gospel song, which seemed to fit the theme of remembering.

I had a couple of requests for the words/tune, so here it is:

Tune: Do Lord, Oh Do Lord, Oh Do Remember Me

 

I’m marrying the man I love, Rory I love you,

I’m marrying the man I love, Rory I love you,

I’m marrying the man I love, Rory I love you,

Why do I feel so blue?

 

I dreamed I had a childhood friend, but childish dreams must always end,

I dreamed I had a childhood friend, but childish dreams come to an end,

I dreamed I had a childhood friend, but childish dreams come to an end,

Leaving me so blue.

 

Who’s that woman passing by? In the corner of my eye,

Who’s that woman passing by?  In the corner of my eye,

Who’s that woman passing by?  In the corner of my eye,

She left a book of blue.

 

Raggedy Man, Oh Raggedy Man, Why did I dream of you?

Raggedy Man, Oh Raggedy Man, Why did I dream of you?

Raggedy Man, Oh Raggedy Man, Why did I dream of you?

With a box of blue.

 

Something old and something new, something borrowed, something blue,

Something old and something new, something borrowed, something blue,

Something old and something new, something borrowed, something blue,

Where is my something blue?

 

Time Lord, Oh, Time Lord, I do remember you,

Time Lord, Oh, Time Lord, I do remember you,

Time Lord, Oh, Time Lord, I do remember you,

In your box so blue.

Would it be presumptuous to make a suggestion? In Amy's first episode, The Eleventh Hour, the Doctor keeps repeating the phrase "the corner of my eye"/"corner of your eye" (Prizoner Zero having concealed his hiding place from the direct gaze), so I wonder if the verse about River could say "in the corner of my eye", using one of Amy's subconscious memories?

I like it. It scans better as well.
