Love Is Long
Demelza
Do not ask me for a smile
Life is short but love is long
Let me not your heart beguile
Pray content you with a song
Do not ask me for a kiss
Life is short but love is long
You may never know that bliss
So I offer you this song
Do not ask me for my heart
Life is short but love is long
Knowing we are soon to part
Consolation be my song
