Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life
Note: Found this in my fake book. A fake book, for those who don't know, is a book for musicians to "fake" songs out of; it contains the chords and some lyrics and the lead lines. This knocked me out. Isn't it great?
Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life at last I’ve found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all;
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning,
The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall!
For ‘tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking;
And ‘tis love and love alone, that can repay!
‘Tis the answer, ‘tis the end and all of living,
For it is love alone that rules for aye!
Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life at last I’ve found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all;
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning,
The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall!
For ‘tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking;
And ‘tis love and love alone, that can repay!
‘Tis the answer, ‘tis the end and all of living,
For it is love alone that rules for aye!
