There were trembling lips by mommy and her little girl this morning when they parted...
A bitty cup 'o tea comforts many an ache...
Ah love...
You kiss the mouth with smiles
You mist the eye with tears
You fill the ear with whispers, dear
The heart with yester-years
You compose melodies
As hello and farewell
Arrange with ease fond memories
Where once fleet footsteps fell
You help us to hold on
You teach us to let go
Ah, love you make well worth the ache
That you alone bestow
You kiss the mouth with smiles
You frost the brow with years
You fill the heart with sacred art
And brush the cheek
with tears
