Lyrics
The Things I Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The golden flicker of the fire flies,
The gleam of love light in your lovely eyes,
These are the things I love.
A silver moonbeam peeping through the trees,
A bed of tulips nodding in the breeze,
The look you you give in answer to my pleas,
These are the things I love.
Oh! once I thought that life was just a winter thing,
My heart was cold,
And then you came to me and like a breath of spring
You turned the silver snow to gold.
A robin's serenade when day is thru,
The babbling brook beside our rendezvous,
Your sweet voice whispering "Darling I love you"
These are the things I love.
