Hanging By a Thread

HANGING BY A THREAD


 DARLING WE’VE HEARD IT SAID THAT LOVE IS A WONDERFUL THING
BUT IT ALSO FEELS IT IS SOMETIMES REALLY WEAKER THAN A STRING
THE CARES THE TROUBLES AND DECISIONS WE OFTEN NEED TO MAKE
 MAKES ME DOUBT & FEAR & FEEL OUR THREAD WILL EASILY BREAK


AS WE SEE YOUNG LOVERS FROLIC & OF THEIR LOVE SO FREELY SPEAK
 I LOOK AT US AND WONDER IS OUR CORD OF LOVE REALLY OH SO WEAK
 WE ALL HAVE DAYS OF LAUGHTER, WONDERFUL SONG WE RUN AND PLAY
YES IT MAKES ME TRUST THAT OUR PUPPY LOVE IS ALWAYS HERE TO STAY


ALL THE YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE AND WITH EACH PASSING DAY
 THIS LOVE OF OURS HAS PROVED TO ME THAT its REAL & HERE TO STAY
IN SPITE OF PAIN & AGONY WE ALWAYS THOUGHT TOO MUCH TO BEAR
OUR CORD OF LOVE KEEPS GROWING BECOMING STRONGER EVERY YEAR


THIS CORD OF LOVE IN EARLY YEARS WHICH SEEMED SO THIN & WEAK
HAS STRENGTHENED DAY BY DAY AND NOW TO ALL YOUNG LOVERS SPEAK
THERE IS NO STORM, NO TROUBLE, NO WAVE, DEVICE OF EVERY EVIL MAN
 THIS PRECIOUS GIFT, OUR INNER CORD OF LOVE, NOT ABLE TO WITHSTAND


OH MY DARLING TELL ME IT’S NOT JUST HANGING BY A THREAD
IT’S THE BREAKING OF OUR CORD OF LOVE I SO DEARLY DREAD
AND EVEN THOUGH WE DO THINGS WITH EVERY GOOD INTENTION
WE OFTEN FEEL OUR CORD OF LOVE STRETCHING AND IN TENSION

YES MY DARLING TELL ME OUR LOVE IS NOT JUST HANGING BY A THREAD
YES MY DARLING TELL ME OUR LOVE IS NOT JUST HANGING BY A THREAD
