`Sing of the Life of Love'

 

A folk love song from late summer of 1966 about the life of young romantic soul love (and how to avoid the death of love that Hemingway described in his 1920s novel about "the lost generation.")

Oh, come young girl 
Sit close to me 
Underneath the cherry tree 
I did notice 
Suddenly 
That you were the one for me. 

(chorus) 
The sun it also rises 
But now it remains above 
For you and me together 
Will Sing of the Life of Love. 

O, your hair 
The wind it blows 
And atop I place a rose 
And your lips 
They stir my soul 
Like the feelings from a poem. (chorus) 

Oh, we'll journey 
Far and wide 
And perceive all side by side 
Joined in motion 
So unbound 
Never shall we hear the hound. (chorus)
