作词 : Lightfoot There's a love i hold dear And it shines through each year And it makes things seem different somehow It's for better or worse It's for people who thirst For a love that burns brighter right now And it shines on and on 'til all sadness is gone And if children had wings i would sing them this song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye Everything will be fine by and by There were things that were said There were things that were done And a wife cannot stand too much pain And what i thought was best Couldn't please her much less But my love still goes on, that don't change And it shines on and on 'til all sadness is gone And if children had wings i would sing them this song With a smile on my lips and a tear in my eye Everything will be fine by and by And it shines on and on 'til all sadness is gone And if children had wings i would sing them this song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye Everything will be fine by and by And it shines on and on 'til all sadness is gone And if children had wings i would sing them this song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye Everything will be fine by and by
