Love Is A Battle 1914 'The Débutante'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 Jan 2004

Love is a battle, a combat of old;
first you must conquer
and then you must hold;
Hearts are the trophies
you win or you yield,
Cupid the leader,
the wide world the field.
Trouble is started by one word or glance,
sighs are the bugles
that sound the advance;
smiles are the transports
of rapture inspired,
Kisses resounding the first shots fired.

"I love you!" roars the cannon,
"I hate you!" pops the gun;
And so the battle rages
from rise to set of sun.
And when the fight is over
and the smoke has cleared away,
The flag of truce is waving,
she has named the happy day!
The flag of truce is waving,
she has named the happy day!

"I love you!" roars the cannon,
"I hate you!" pops the gun;
and so the battle rages
from rise to set of sun.
And when the fight is over
and the smoke has cleared away,
The flag of truce is waving,
she has named,
has named the happy day!
The flag of truce is waving,
she has named the happy day!
