"Tide Of Love" lyrics

Come watch the tide of love a-growin'
Come listen to the song that I sing
I have you now and the love I'm knowin'
But love is such a fleeting thing

Come watch the sunrise o'er the mountains
Come feel the air grow so fresh and so new
Come with me, love, to fields and fountains
And where I go I'll go with you

I know that love can't last forever
But we can live with the moments that we know
I cannot ask you to leave me never
But love can come before you go

So love me now as you would a flower
As soon to die in the cold winter air
And leave me dreams of one happy hour
And a love so short but, oh, so fair

Come watch the tide of love a-growin'
