Before This World / Jolly Springtime

Before this world was as we know it now Before the land and sea were formed at all Before the stars were made to burn and shine Little love of mine, darling one Who can pretend to understand at all No one can both inside and outside be Who can suppose he knows the way this goes Oh, little lamb, never mind So let us love and let us not delay The world is old and it will never last Our share of joy is in this moment past Will you come away, come away Fall into Jesus baby child Give up the love that takes and breaks your heart Let go the weight of all that holds you here Little love of mine, darling one Oh the jolly springtime In the merry month of May Oh the heavenly hours Oh the come again day Oh the jolly springtime In the merry month of May Oh the heavenly hours Oh the come again day Let the day run long Let the river run high That tomorrow may live So must yesterday die Let the resin risin' up in the tree Make the green leaf bud The bird and the bee and the fish in the sea Feeling it in my blood Oh the jolly springtime All in the merry month of May Oh the heavenly hours Oh the come again day Yes the winter was bitter and long So the spring'll be sweet Come along with a rhythm and a song Watch creation repeat Thin thin the moment is thin Ever so narrow the now Everybody say got to live in today Don't nobody know how Oh the jolly springtime In the merry month of May Oh the heavenly hours Oh the come again day Oh the jolly springtime In the merry month of May Oh the heavenly hours Oh the come again day
