New Yorkers Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas take a vacation in the Scottish Highlands and get lost in a mystical village called Brigadoon that only appears once every hundred years. Despite the 18th century environment and personalities of the villagers, the young men both find romantic partners, Tommy?s much more serious with a girl named Fiona. As the day slowly comes to a close, the men realize that not only will the town disappear again for the next one hundred years, but also that if anyone succeeds in leaving, it will be lost forever. Tommy must choose between his fiancé back in New York and his new love in the mysterious Brigadoon.
This song is sung by Charlie Dalrymple, who is about to marry Jean MacLaren, the younger daughter of one of the town's leading figures. He calls to his bride at her home before the wedding, but she chides him, explaining it is bad luck.
Because they told me I can't behold ye till weddin' music starts playin';
To ease my longin' there's nothin' wrong in my standin' out here ans sayin':
Come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Darlin', my darlin', 'tis all I can say,
Jus' come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Gie me your lips an' don't take them away.
Come, dearie, near me so ye can hear me, I've got to whisper this softly.
For though I'm burnin' to shout my yearnin', the words come tiptoein' off me.
Oh, come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Darlin' my darlin', 'tis all I can say.
Jus' come to me, bend to me, kiss me good day!
Gie me your lips an' don't take them away.
