The Bad And The Beautiful (From 'Off Beat') - June Christy

Love is wrong

It sings a hopeless song

It longs for bitter disappointment and tears and tears

It calls to all that used to be

And it yearns for someone who was tender but untrue

Love is blind

It’s helplessly inclined

To bind itself to discontentment and fears and fears

It dwells on nights that might have been

Love needs nothing more to do

My darling

So, I hold each little token we knew, we knew

Endlessly I unfold, each word we’ve spoken

We two, we two

Love is mad

It’s beautiful but bad

It gladly weeps when disillusion appears, appears

And so I cling to yesterdays

While I’m hopelessly in love

While I’m hopelessly in love

With you
