Love will guide you through – Throughout the darkest hours . . . At least, if love be true. As the daylight fades,don't be dismayed, Just kindle love's bright light To chase the night away. When you are a child You toy with childish notions, Mixed emotions running wild. But as your heart matures, you'll find the cure For sins that make you spin Is in a love that's pure. Give me now your full attention, Brook no interference. All love's lessons I will mention I've learned from experience. Never ask for whom The bell tolls – it's for you! Seize the season while love blooms. Youth's a fleeting thing; after the Spring Comes slow descent to Fall's Decay and Winter's gloom. Listen, I'll declaim the secrets For avoiding heartaches. Love's a game, but you can beat it. Benefit from my mistakes. Do what I advise And not what I have done, To become a slave to lies (and delusions). My example proves just what you can lose When unlucky in love ... unlucky in life ... If what you choose is To take a fool's advice. |
