Your arrangement of "Marry me a Little" has been ringing in my head for the last 2 days. I just discovered your channel and what a gem find! Your talent is truly remarkable - the arrangements are truly unforgettable. This song is particularly wonderful and since we don't hear it often enough, your unique expertise ensures that Stephen's songs are part of our lives whenever we wish. Thank you and bless your talented mind and hands, Grant. Keep 'em comin'! We 💕 your music. Happy (upcoming) holidays. 11/2/2024😊
Marry me a little, Love me just enough. Cry, but not too often, Play, but not too rough. Keep a tender distance so we'll both be free. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! Marry me a little, Do it with a will. Make a few demands I'm able to fulfill. Want me more than others, Not exclusively. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! I'm ready now! You can be my best friend, I can be your right arm. We'll go through a fight or two-- No harm, no harm. We'll look not too deep, We'll go not too far. We won't have to give up a thing, We'll stay who we are. Right? Okay, then. I'm ready! I'm ready now! Someone-- Marry me a little, Love me just enough. Warm and sweet and easy, Just the simple stuff. Keep a tender distance So we'll both be free. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! Marry me a little, Body, heart, and soul. Passionate as hell But always in control. Want me first and foremost, Keep me company. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! I'm ready now! Oh, how gently we'll talk, Oh, how softly we'll tread. All the stings, The ugly things We'll keep unsaid. We'll build a cocoon Of love and respect. You promise whatever you like, I'll never collect. Right? Okay, then. I'm ready. I'm ready now. Someone-- I'm ready!

Is this the 2018 West End version?
I actually haven’t heard that version yet! This was an amalgamation of the original orchestrations, the 2006 revival, and pieces I came up with.
