Give Love To The Children Give Love to the children Children need love everyday Give love to the children Guide them on their way Love's like a burning flame consumes all that stands in the way Love is the only power on earth to take all the hatred away GIVE LOVE TO THE CHILDREN set the children free To make their own decisions then they will clearly see Love is the sun the moon and the stars love is a golden ring Love is the one thing the whole world desires be it beggar or king GIVE LOVE TO THE CHILDREN youth has not long to stay Love is a long term investment the best you will find any day Love like the rising sun takes all the darkness away Our children will tell their children and their childrens children will say Give love to the children they are our crock of gold and if perchance they ever stray they will come back to the fold Give love to the children the children of today Give love to the children and love will come to stay.

The Lad From the Crewe He wooed her he won her he said 'Love Is True' He promised to wed her the lad from the Crewe Like a fool she believed him then what did he do? He up and he left her alone onto the Crewe And so now my daughter my secret I tell To protect you from heartache perhaps shame as well When a lad comes a courtin' take care what you do Just in case he's a son of the lad from the Crewe

Life Goes On When the sun shines LIFE GOES ON When the rain falls LIFE GOES ON When the sun shines or the rain falls LIFE GOES ON. When you're happy LIFE GOES ON When you're sad LIFE GOES ON When you're happy or you're sad if you're good or if you're bad LIFE GOES ON When you're laughing LIFE GOES ON When you're crying LIFE GOES ON If you're laughing or you're crying If you're' living or you're dying LIFE GOES ON.
