Of course, life is good
And the joy, the only unspeakable emotion
Of course, I think you're beautiful
In thee bless the love of simple things
Of course I love you
And I have everything to be happy
But I happen to be sad

All the people that are there
Cluttering up my way
They will
I bird!

If you love me, you love me softly
Do not scream from the rooftops
Let alone the birds
Let alone me!
If you want me
Send me tickets
Anyway
It must be very slowly, Beloved
That life is short, and soon love yet

Will you in the black wing of doom
Thought of love, shadow of a time
I embraced with delight, will you, though
As cloud the wind pushes... and passes
What is dream only hope
While the pain forever watching
And just never mistake the misfortune!

All the people that are there
Cluttering up my way
They will
I bird!

If you love me, you love me softly
Do not scream from the rooftops
Let alone the birds
Let alone me!
If you want me
Send me tickets
Anyway
It must be very slowly, Beloved
That life is short, and soon love yet
