Legend Of The Glow Worm 1922 'Orange Blossoms'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 23 Mar 2004

I once heard a legend,
with a promise of bliss;
It's the legend of the glow worm,
and the story is this,
when you catch a glow worm,
if his light still will glow,
happiness will come to you
and never go, so,

Oh, glow worm, tell me,
will he ever love me?
Oh, glow worm,
will my little dream come true?
Will he stay or will he go?
I would give the world to know!
If you settle in my hand
you can make me understand,
when I see your tender glow,
Oh, glow worm,
you're the only one to help me.
My future happiness to me disclose,
let me hold your light divine,
and I'll know that love is mine,
that's how the legend
of the glow worm goes!

Ev'ry lovelorn maiden,
whose affection is real,
hurries to the good luck glow worm,
with a tender appeal,
though she's unsuccessful,
she will always keep on,
hoping that her wish will
come before the dawning,

Oh, glow worm, tell me,
will he ever love me?
Oh, glow worm,
will my little dream come true?
Will he stay or will he go?
I would give the world to know!
If you settle in my hand
you can make me understand,
when I see your tender glow,
Oh, glow worm,
you're the only one to help me.
My future happiness to me disclose,
let me hold your light divine,
and I'll know that love is mine,
that's how the legend
of the glow worm goes!
