The Loveliest Song of All LYRICS
(Jacque Darragh)
The Loveliest Song of All
Arise my love, my beautiful one,
come, the winter is gone
The rains are over and flowersappear
The time for singing has come
Chorus:
The cooing of doves is heard,
and the figs are ripe,
fragrant flowers bloom on the vine
Arise, my beautiful one,
come, my lovely one, come,
come with me, my lovely one, come.
My beloved belongs to me
and I belong to my love
At night I sleep, but my heart is awake;
that’s when I hear my love speak
Chorus
Set me as a seal on your heart,
like a seal on your arm
For love is stronger than death, my love,
this passion stronger than death
It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame
This is no love that flood waters drown
No river submerge it,
no wealth that can purchase it
Come with me, come, my lovely one come.
