Subject(s): SINGING & SINGERS; SONGS;

Song, I have shrined you deep in my heart.
Time will pass, friends may go, love depart.
Memory will alter things as they are,
Add to their lustre, add to their pain,
Buried so I cannot find them again.

Song, I have sung you, your notes are all true.
All through the years I shall always have you.
Changeless as truth, you are part of me now.
In days of joy or nights of despair,
Song of beauty, you will always be there.
