Keith Potger (The Seekers) - Kathleen 

Was that bernard Mathews beautiful. Only kidding. Yes l agree with you.

Once again Rich thank you for accompanying our generation of Seekers fans throughout our lives...on into the "bits falling off" as Prince Phillip memorably said when Oldie Magazine offered him" Consort of the Year" Rich you are my OldiesMusic Therapist of the Year

@@marilynwoolford-chandler1161 to say nothing of the bits _not_ falling off that you wish _would._

@@77thTrombone now what could you possibly be referring to😛🤓🤪 Great name you chose. I’m just wondering 🧐where that solitary trombone is coming from????

@@marilynwoolford-chandler1161 it's coming from the _bass_ -ment. (the pic is actually a tuba!)

@@77thTrombone can't stop laughing ... You're a right pic -ture of joy

This could easily be a classic, except the industry would never let it rise through the a-musical tripe clogging the modern charts.

@@marilynwoolford-chandler1161 yes. The errors of society can be quite regrettable.

Great gui...very good..for ever in my heart..... Here BRAZIL.....CITY SOROCABA

@@larryvermeer6170 nor me - it's very unlikely to exist.

@@rich963 good evening my friend rich maybe once i hear from athol guy i can ask him about this song and it's not a live one too

I think I've seen him do two solo gigs, years and years ago, and I have a feeling that Kathleen wasn't one he performed either time. Might be wrong or he might have done it at shows I wasn't at. Also remember though, the album came out in 2004; so the time that he was most likely to be performing the song was in RU-vid's infancy.

Blown like a leaf on a warm summer breeze A vision approached me, as cool as you please, With her strawberry hair and a wink in her eye To say I was smitten would not be a lie. Gathering courage I started to speak To ask of her name, but my heart felt too weak Like I’d gone clear to heaven before I had died. I mumbled the question, she calmly replied: “Kathleen”. Well I remember my first motorbike With her riding pillion I’d not heard the like Of her giggles and squeals as we leaned left and right And feeling her arms round my chest, holding tight. Whirlwind romances were never my speed But this one took off like a runaway steed. When she said she was having the time of her life I knew then this vision would soon be my wife. Kathleen. CHORUS: Oh Kathleen, the mem’ries you’ve left me They’ll be with me through all of my days. Thinking there’s safety in numbers, no doubt, Accounts for the fact that the whole town turned out To behold how serenely she walked down the aisle But trembled and blushed as I kissed her sweet smile. Picnics on beaches and punts on the lake Luck seemed to serve us a slice of life’s cake That was more than enough to sustain us through years When laughter would sometimes give way to some tears. Kathleen. CHORUS Then at the ball she looked ever so sweet Heavy with child but still light on her feet Every head turned our way as we whirled o’er the floor And I loved her more than I’d loved her before. INSTRUMENTAL Two caring children Siobhan and Marie A grand little grandson to bounce on my knee They’re a fine testimonial to all that was right In keeping our candle of love burning bright. Kathleen Now as my life nears its own eventide It’s almost as though she was here by my side Such a presence, an aura so perfectly made My beautiful vision that never will fade. Kathleen. My Kathleen.

@@3rdalbum Thank you.

Me too - hopefully Keith! Nothing to do with me though (apart from uploading it!)
