My Heart's Fit to Break
[From 'My Heart's Fit To Break' by Lady Caroline Lamb (1785 - 1828)]
My heart's fit to break, with no hope for love in sight
As I gaze up above at the stars that fill the night
A frail blanket of jewels strewn across the sky
Each star a memory of a life that's gone by
They will fade like the dreams of our pleasures and youth
They will fade like the promise of honor and truth
My heart's fit to break, yet no tear fills my eye
As I gaze on the moon, and the clouds that flutter by
The moon shines so fair, she reminds me of you
Like the clouds that obscure her, I darken the view
They will pass like the dreams of our pleasures and youth
They will pass like the promise of honor and truth
And bright thou shalt shine when the shadows are gone
All radiant, serene, unobscur'd, and alone
(Alone now)
They will pass like our dreams
All radiant, serene
They will pass like our dreams
All radiant, serene
Stars that fill the sky
Clouds that flutter by
All radiant, serene
A million fragile dreams
And alone
My heart's fit to break, with no hope for love in sight
As I gaze up above at the stars that fill the night
A frail blanket of jewels strewn across the sky
Each star a memory of a life that's gone by
They will fade like the dreams of our pleasures and youth
They will fade like the promise of honor and truth
My heart's fit to break, yet no tear fills my eye
As I gaze on the moon, and the clouds that flutter by
The moon shines so fair, she reminds me of you
Like the clouds that obscure her, I darken the view
They will pass like the dreams of our pleasures and youth
They will pass like the promise of honor and truth
And bright thou shalt shine when the shadows are gone
All radiant, serene, unobscur'd, and alone
(Alone now)
They will pass like our dreams
All radiant, serene
They will pass like our dreams
All radiant, serene
Stars that fill the sky
Clouds that flutter by
All radiant, serene
A million fragile dreams
And alone
