Dorothy Parker - Somebody's Song lyrics

This is what I vow He shall have my heart to keep Sweetly will we stir and sleep All the years, as now Swift the measured sands may run Love like this is never done He and I are welded one This is what I vow This is what I pray Keep him by me tenderly Keep him sweet in pride of me Ever and a day Keep me from the old distress Let me, for our happiness Be the one to love the less This is what I pray This is what I know Lovers' oaths are thin as rain Love's a harbinger of pain Would it were not so! Ever is my heart a-thirst Ever is my love accurst He is neither last nor first This is what I know
