"No Love Is Sorrow" lyrics

"No Love Is Sorrow"

Just like a songbird deep in the forest
I sing praises that you never hear
Deep in my body my song is silent
But contented at times when you're near

Please listen to me and I will tell thee
All those words that have never been said
They shout inside me but then they cower
Behind weakness that's rulin' my head

I dearly love thee and not one other
Will know sweetness that lies in my breast
'Tis you that made me but God forbade me
To uncover my heart to love's test

No love is sorrow and how I'm happy
To have thee in this world for my love
And now you must know my soul is for thee
That's why this life is my soarin' dove
That's why this life is my soarin' dove
