I Once Had a Love Don’t worry, my darling Don’t ever have doubt You are learning to know What true love is about Let the waters flow freely Let the vine be full grown I once had a wonderful Love of my own Don’t question, my darling Each move that he makes Allow him to pace his own Step that he takes Let the sparrow take flight On a path it has flown I once had a passionate Love of my own Don’t ever shed tears When he doesn’t call In due time he’ll come home And tell you it all Don’t ever assume things That aren’t really known I once had a precious Love of my own Don’t worry, my darling He’ll walk through the door And love you more warmly Than ever before And you’ll smile at my words All these things I have known For I once had a beautiful Love of my own He finally arrived A smile lit her face A dozen red roses A warming embrace She smiled at me saying How could you have known I once had a perfect Love of my own Elizabeth Santos |

Aw come on! There is no way that you can just walk across unnoticed. Great personalities like you are stars and stars have to deal with fame and glory and all the world's glory is upon the stage that you perform ... just keep writing those wonderful stuff and KEEP US ALL HAPPY  regards, Sudhir |

Beautiful, Liz. This reminds of a song. How lovely if you would set this to music. Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ell |
