Give your time and thought To the better side of life.
Moments by moments, hours by hours, Your love in my heart just pours in showers. Breath of love. Breath by breath, smile by smile, May your love bring to my heart no vile Breath of love. Word by word, to ease by ease, My love is all yours to treat as you please. Breath of love. Side by side, hand in hand, Pure love, sweet love, will always stand.
Cling, clang, the anvil rang Behind the prison walls a convict sang A song of his innocence as he worked away, And for keeping bad company this was his pay.
He was coaxed by mother, sister and brother Before the handcuffs came, But now he’s clothed in a little striped suit, And to face the world again he’s ashamed.
Life is so short, death sleep is so long, Think kind of me now not after I’m gone.
Steal not from yourself nowadays For your work is your boss.
There’s always a look in your eyes, There’s always a rose in your smile, Could there be a feeling in your heart To my life that means worth while.
There’s always times I long for you, There’s always times I feel sad. I wonder if those times could be brightened To make my poor heart glad.
There’s always my golden dreams, There’s always my thoughts of love, And you are a tender blessing dear That flowed from the heavens above.
There’s always a cloudy day, There’s always a little sunshine, But there would be no cloudy ones If you’ll promise to be mine.
All, to our lives is pure sweet love All, in a day it can grow, All, in a moment it can leave us, All, of us don’t think so.
All, of our thoughts of happiness, All, of our smiles in between, All, could be dead by tomorrow, All, could be love’s saddest scene.
Our lives are passing ne’er to repass, Quoting these words to memory Could save your soul.
Gone art your love, that I once knew, It faded like a rose for the want of dew, But God bless you, dear, From sorrow and care. But there lies memories of your faded love.
Though I’ll go along life’s gay way, Plucking the roses of a bright summer’s day. Weakened but guided by the Savior above, But still there’s memories of your faded love.
Enchanted in my heart were you so strong I never dreamed fate could guide you wrong. From the wilderness came the mourn of a dove, It knows the sad story of your faded love.
