Wingèd Love 1913 'The Madcap Duchess'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Mar 2004

You wouldn't believe
that my waistcoat hides
a heart that is ever young,
that deep in my bosom
there still resides
one song that I haven't sung.
Though every year a new burden brings,
new hope in my heart for ever springs,
and I'm listening still
for the fluttering wings
of Love! Love! Love!

Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Let thy pinions rest on a heart like mine,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
End an anxious quest, in my arms recline!
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Ever welcome guest,
for the house is thine.
No longer to roam, for I'm always at home,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Wingèd Love! Oh! Wingèd Love!
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Let thy pinions rest on a heart like mine.
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
End an anxious quest, in my arms recline,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Ever welcome guest,
for the house is thine!
No longer to roam, for I'm always at home,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Oh! Wingèd Love!

Now I have been waiting long years to find
a heart that would beat with mine,
a heart of the timid and trusting kind
that clings like an ivy vine.
And tho' I have known all the bitter stings
of faith unrequited and similar things,
I am listening still for the fluttering wings
of Love! Love! Love!

Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Let thy pinions rest on a heart like mine,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
End an anxious quest, in my arms recline!
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Ever welcome guest,
for the house is thine.
No longer to roam, for I'm always at home,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Wingèd Love! Oh! Wingèd Love!
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Let thy pinions rest on a heart like mine.
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
End an anxious quest, in my arms recline,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Ever welcome guest,
for the house is thine!
No longer to roam, for I'm always at home,
Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love! Wingèd Love!
Oh! Wingèd Love!
