-- Sing to Me of Happiness –

John Herlihy

Keep a little fire burning, I will, I will,

Darkness unending, in darkness still.

A little hearth burning, beat by beat,

My little heart yearning, love to meet.

Keep a secret, never told, never told,

Promise and trust, not ever to unfold.

Keep your promises, never to break,

Your faith in another will soon awake.

Keep doors open, ever ajar, ever ajar,

Hope shines forth in the light of a star.

Save a little, another day, another day,

For whatever we want, we must pay.

Sing to me of happiness, I listen, listen,

Joys entitled to, tears glisten, glisten.
