A Little Life Lesson

I have not played this song in a while...it's a simple love song about love's simple things

What matters most is not the boast

Of things or success we have proved

But in the end we must contend

With just one thing; how have we loved?

What good is this; the stone-cold kiss

Of gold and all that it may boast?

It’s not in ‘stuff’ of rust and fluff

But how we love that matters most

Let me be frank, we cannot thank

Or dance in arms of boast’s success

It is quite clear and simple, dear

To love is to find happiness
