I often wonder how good it would be To live in a world free From the pains and the sorrows of life That lead to a land where heartaches and strife Run riot amid declarations of love And hearts, and sunsets, and stars above; Of happiness true, and friendship divine, Of eyes that weep, and hearts that pine. How good it would be If we could just see We live in a world Where God is the key.
Did you ever love someone But that someone didn't love you? Did you ever feel like crying Then think what good it would do? Did you ever look into his eyes And say a little prayer? Did you ever look into his heart And wish that you were there? Did you ever see him dancing When the lights were oh so low? Did you ever hear him whisper 'god I love you so and I'll never let you go'? Did you ever fall in love my friend And find it doesn't pay? One minute you are happy, But feeling blue next day; And when it starts, you don't know why, You worry night and day; You see my friend, you're losing him, I said it doesn't pay. Love is fine but it hurts so much, The price is very high; If I could chose between life and death I think I'd rather die. So when I say don't fall in love, You'll be hurt before it's through, You see, my friend, I ought to know, Cause I've fallen in love with you.
They are, all of them, mine Every pair of eyes, in a velvet-lined box I covet Every lock of hair, tied with bright ribbon I count A fleeting, fickle collection of laughs A treasure chest, buried by a pirate, filled with prizes I have not won stolen, all are mine the precious gems come and go and stay forever.
