"What is a Youth" "A Time for us"

 
 

"What is a Youth" 1
  2
What is a youth? Impetuous fire. 3
What is a maid? Ice and desire. 4
The world wags on , 5
a rose will bloom.... 6
It then will fade: 7
so does a youth, 8
so does the fairest maid. 9
Comes a time when one sweet smile 10
has a season for a while.... 11
Then love's in love with me. 12
Some they think only to marry, 13
others will tease and tarry. 14
Mine is the very best parry. 15
Cupid he rules us all. 16
Caper the cape, but sing me the song, 17
Death will come soon to hush us along. 18
Sweeter than honey... and bitter as gall, 19
Love is a task and it never will pall. 20
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall. 21
Cupid rules us all."
22
 
A Time for us
23
 
24
A time for us, some day there'll be
25
When chains are torn by courage born
26
Of a love that's free.
27
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
28
As we unveil the love we now must hide.
29
A time for us at last to see
30
A life worthwhile for you and me.
31
And with our love, through tears and thorns
32
We will endure and we pass surely through every storm.
33
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world.
34
A world of shining hope for you and me.
35
A world of shining hope for you and me.
