Music Is The Soul Of Love

“And you meant them for me. You were warning me what life would be like without you, but I needed no warning. There will be no ‘smiling face and broken heart’ for us. No ‘long and weary years’ without each other. I will not let you go. You are mine until the end of your days. Promise me.”

“I promise,” she whispered.

“Swear it. Place your hand over your heart and vow to give that heart to no other man as long as you shall live.”

Solemnly she laid her hand over her heart.

“I swear it,” she said. “No man but you, all my life.”

But now the time has come to part, Smiling face and broken heart.
Long and weary years stretch onward, The shadowed road leads far away.
Will life give us one more meeting?
Who can say? Who can say?”

How sweet the time we spent together, How tenderly we loved each other.
