Song of the Month: Come What May (Nia Version)



"Come What May" is a beautiful ballad written by Allee Willis & David Lasley in  1978 and was first recorded by Patti Labelle for her 1979 album "It's Alright With Me".

On Fame "Come What May" is featured in the season 4 episode "Who Am I Really?" where it was performed by Nia Peeples.

The song was popular and used for a couple of U.S. TV Appearances that Nia made on The Merv Griffin show and  The Variety Club Telethon in 1985.

Nia also performed the song at the 2019 Fame U.K. Reunion in Liverpool.

The song has been covered many times over the years. Firstly by Herb Alpert & Lani Hall in 1980. Followed by Sharon Cuneata & Gabby Conceptcion in 1981. Then by Roslyn Kind in 1994 and Pops Fernandez in 1999. Most recently it was released by Marjorie Barnes & Equinox in 2017.

Sadly it has never featured on any of the Official Fame Albums or CDS.

Wish I was your child

Hold me in your heart

We could love so free

And no, we'd never part

 

But I'm not a child

And wishes are

Just child's play, my love

 

Now I'll never be afraid

Of who I am

And who I'm not

Come what may

 

Wish I was a bird

I'd warm you in my wings

Safe from all the storms

You know true love can bring

 

But I'm not a bird

And wishes can

Just fly away, my love

And I'll never be afraid

Of who I am

And who I'm not

Come what may

 

Oh, I'm no fool shining in your eyes

Of the above stars, my love

 

No, we'll never be afraid

Of who we are

And who we're not

Come what may

 

Of who we are

And who we're not

Come what may

 

Wish I was your child

Wish I was a bird

Wish I was a child
