Song of Love and Joy
Song of Love and Joy
What tune is this that stems from heart,
The voice of soul love-vibes impart
To light that flame before too long,
Before love dies and passions part.
Sing now, sing, of her love stoked song
Let her feel, how there you belong,
In her domain that strums romance,
Where lyrics of love laud lifelong.
Waltz with allure of graceful stance,
Spin with tease of her stolen glance,
Stand not still as your dreams pass by,
Lure your life to a gracious dance.
Smile with the dawn that thrills blue sky,
Watch it thrive donning crimson dye,
Wear your joy while you trumpet life,
Snatch her before love goes awry.
