Brigada AI - An Idyll of to-day Lyrics

If every tear of mine were gold
And every sigh a tear
Wouldst thou not then with kisses bold
Entrap them falling clear?
If at each word I spoke of love
Pearls rained from out the air
How pleasant would to thee then prove
To hear me speak for e'er!
If at each look of love I cast
A cheque were signed and made
If each tear's ending were the last
Touch of received and paid
If each soft glance were a banknote
And the same every sigh
Wouldst thou not have me learn by rote
Love's shows of misery?
If every tear of mine were gold
And every sigh a tear
Wouldst thou not then with kisses bold
Entrap them falling clear?
If at each word I spoke of love
Pearls rained from out the air
How pleasant would to thee then prove
To hear me speak for e'er!
What can we do? What are we both
But beings of our time?
Gold is the meat of living's broth
The vowel of the rhyme
Even a token sad and old
A certain price will woo
Our love would but be true as gold
If we were gold all through
If every tear of mine were gold
And every sigh a tear
Wouldst thou not then with kisses bold
Entrap them falling clear?
If at each word I spoke of love
Pearls rained from out the air
How pleasant would to thee then prove
To hear me speak for e'er!
Then prove
To hear me speak for e'er!
What can we do? What are we both
But beings of our time?
Gold is the meat of living's broth
The vowel of the rhyme
Even a token sad and old
A certain price will woo
Our love would but be true as gold
If we were gold all through
Our love would but be true as gold
If we were gold all through.
