Crystalline, emotional, powerful... BRILLIANT. While Patti and.Betty sing nice versions of "Meadowlark," nobody does it better than Liz Callaway. PERFECT!

Liz Callaway... Broadway SUPERSTAR. It doesn't get better than her interpretation of "Meadowlark." And her voice... great. Just GREAT! Stephen Schwartz must be proud!

Wow, absolutely effortless amazing

WOW!!!!

I just discovered Liz's rendition and am gobsmacked; absolutely stunning vocally combined with a thoughtful, nuisance's interpretation.

NOBODY does it better. No one. Period

I get Goose Bumps every time I listen to this wonderful rendition.

Brilliantly written. Brilliantly sung. Brava!!!

The Hamlet of theater songs. I'm not sure I personally would call hers definitive, but she is certainly up there with the best of them. Epic song, and she has the chops to do it justice. Thank you for sharing.

Glorious!

Good LORD! This is such a hard song to sing that not many people tell the story. I believed every word and she destroyed the vocals too.

Oh this is a PURE delight to see Liz! I can see the star quality already! We love you Liz! (And your sister Ann too!!!!)

Liz is not only a wonderful singer but a wonderful actress! Lovely to be able to see this.

This was wonderful to watch! I Love this movie clip of you singing Liz!! ❤

Oh, Liz Callaway...more working actress than star! AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!? She is is glorious.

My god! That woman has a voice!

FABULOUS xx

Shivers! So beautiful!

Proud to be a fan of both Patti and Liz.

Perfection!

Such gorgeous colors. I believe her when she sings.

Truly wonderful performance of this amazing song. Brava Liz Callaway, you had me in tears for all the right reasons! <3

When I was a girl, I had a favourite story Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind Her voice could match the angels' in its glory, But she was blind, The lark was blind. An old king came and took her to his palace, Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid, And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed "Sing for me, my meadowlark Sing for me of the silver morning. Set me free, my meadowlark And I'll buy you a priceless jewel, And cloth of brocade and crewel, And I'll love you for life if you will Sing for me." Than one day as the lark sang by the water The god of the sun heard her in his flight And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her The gift of sight, He gave her sight. And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendor Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender, "Come along, Fly with me, my meadowlark, Fly with me on the silver morning. Past the sea where the dolphins bark, We will dance on the coral beaches, Make a feast of the plums and peaches, Just as far as your vision reaches, Fly with me." But the meadowlark said no, For the old king loved her so, She couldn't bear to wound his pride. So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day, He found his meadowlark had died. Every time I heard that part I cried. And now I stand here, starry-eyed and stormy. Oh, just when I thought my heart was finally numb, A beautiful young man appears before me Singing "Come Oh, won't you come?" And what can I do if finally for the first time The one I'm burning for returns the glow? If love has come at last it's picked the worst time Still I know I've got to go. Fly away, meadowlark. Fly away in the silver morning. If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark, So it's off where the days won't bind me. I know I leave wounds behind me, But I won't let tomorrow find me Back this way. Before my past once again can blind me, Fly away. And we won't wait to say goodbye, My beautiful young man and I.

If you weren’t watching the video, you’d think it was a studio recording

Gives me chills every time. Such a talent.

I love love love Liz Callaway. But the full orchestra behind her gives me goosebumps.

THIS is her song! I've seen her present it live a few times. Each and every time she brings chills and maybe a few tears. I know she is known for "Baby" "Anastasia" and so much more but THIS (in my opinion) is her VERY BEST!

Dang! What a voice!

I love this so much! This girl showed so much potential!!

She is an ethereal force! Wow👏

I can never get enough of you singing this song! like the mix in this performance better than some of the other orchestral versions where your voice is buried too far back. We want to hear you up front! So excellent! Thank you for sharing!

Holy crap...I have never heard anything so perfect

Holy F. Ms. Liz, you rock!!!

Omg.

I want Liz Callaway to play my mom in a movie. Just putting that out there to you God and the universe...

What a song, what a performance. There's something at once accessible and epic about these pipes. It's a pretty remarkable vocal quality.

“Fly with me my meadowlark” gave me chills.

Greatest singer, greatest song

Such a beautiful song about justifying leaving your husband.

I think the comments section is unanimous in saying that this is the BEST VERSION of Meadowlark.. And I definitely agree! Damn, she meant every word -- and I mean EVERY WORD. For example, in 1:50, she sang "rough and tender"', and she enunciated it like well, it's rough and tender.. Great enunciation and interpretation, plus the orchestra complemented very well on top of this world-class performance! I applaud every single time she finishes the song and I can't even count how many times I've replayed it. LOL

OKAY, 2 WILL NOT DO WE NEED MORE OR YOU!

came here looking for an audition song to use in a few weeks and left with TEARS

Beautiful!!

You don’t even need to search for the lyrics. Her rendition is so clear! Pattis version, you have to guess what the hell shes saying. Lol.
