SUNG BY JOHN BALLARD

 

 

ETERNITY WOULD SOON BE OVER

by

Matt McGinn

 

Eternity would soon be over

If I could spend it with my love

 

Each day I spend, my love, without you

Each long, long day is as a year

Each smile I smile with arms about you

When you are gone, becomes a tear

 

Eternity would soon be over

If I could spend it with my love

 

When autumn brings her gentle breezing

I count each leaf when I'm alone

But each falling leaf becomes a season

When the lips I love are on my own

 

Eternity would soon be over

If I could spend it with my love

 

So come my love, these arms are waiting

To enfold my soul delight

Send my joys all escalating

And put these lonely hours to flight

 

Eternity would soon be over

If I could spend it with my love
