Cupid Will Guide 1899 'The Ameer'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Sep 2004

When mountains of trouble
encompass around,
when cares lie as thickly
as leaves on the ground.
When dull hang the clouds,
ah, when life seems so dreer,
when fickle and faithless
our loved ones appear,
the mists that envelop and darken the day,
are lightened if Cupid will show you the way.

Cupid will guide you,
you may be sure,
what e'er betide you,
you can endure;
pain and the heartache will quickly subside
if only you're willing that Cupid shall guide;
If only you're willing that Cupid,
that Cupid shall guide,
pain and the heartache will surely subside
if only you're willing that Cupid shall guide.
If only you're willing
that Cupid shall guide,
shall guide.

Now Cupid is wise
and when care comes his way,
remembers that after the night comes the day,
Tho' life's streams be cold
or chilled be your heart,
'tis warmed if he plucks from his quiver a dart,
so think not then love is blind
when at your side,
is Cupid consenting to act as your guide.

Cupid will guide you,
you may be sure,
what e'er betide you,
you can endure;
pain and the heartache will quickly subside
if only you're willing that Cupid shall guide;
If only you're willing that Cupid,
that Cupid shall guide,
pain and the heartache will surely subside
if only you're willing that Cupid shall guide.
If only you're willing
that Cupid shall guide,
shall guide.
