Love never dies -- she sometimes slips away
Beyond our thinking and without our ken
To little islands where the ills of men
Are washed as seaweed on the shore each day,
And there she smiles on them and lets them stay
Until they breathe her loveliness again.
Love never dies -- she sometimes slips away
Beyond our thinking and without our ken.
If we would hold her close, we must obey
Her quaint demands and sometimes even then
We wait for her return and question -- when?
But she will come when roses bloom in May.
Love never dies -- she sometimes slips away
Beyond our thinking and without our ken.
