A Lump Of Joy

She remembers the lump of joy on her breast Where love made a permanent nest, What she didn’t know was between smile and sigh Years would quickly pass by. Years would quickly pass by Years would quickly pass by Riding on smile and sigh, She would never know She could never know The nested love would soon die. When I held the lump of joy between my hands I saw only love quietly making its nest, But now in my eyes sorrows’ rain lands Knew not the years would pass in haste. The years would pass in haste The years would pass in haste Riding on smile and sigh, I would never know I could never know The nested love would once die. When we brought the lump of joy between us Love made a nest in our heart, We never knew the years would quickly pass Leaving love’s nest a barren desert! The years would quickly pass The years would quickly pass Riding on smile and sigh, We would never know We could never know They would leave a gulf between us.
