My how I loved you
When you were young and brave
You stood against injustice
With the worker and the slave
And your beauty still excites me
Your spirit lights my way
But love, like fire, dwindles
If you let it fade away.
I’m afraid I’ll lose you
To the comforts you have won
Your paycheck now means more to you
Than a job well done
When you fight against the greedy
The hardest thing to do
Is to keep a watch on how you fight
So you don’t get greedy too.
And I’m scared to speak my mind
You’re still the same, you’ll say
But there’re lots of young and poor folks
Who need you today
So I sing to keep our love alive
I pray you’ll hear my song
Cause our love got us this far
And our union must go on!
Yes I sing to keep our love alive
I pray you’ll hear my song
Cause our love got us this far
And our union must go on! (repeat)
