Chain of Love

Lyrics

[DOLLY] If love is a chain of love As nature is a chain of life With link after link after link Then I've always been in love, I think No youth ever stole my heart No suitor ever sought my hand I've nothing at all to confess Yet, I've always been in love, I guess I love a cat-shaped cloud The sound of rain A face of frost On a window pane With so many links in the chain Each love collects in me Like honey inside a bee If love is a chain of love As nature is a chain of life With link after link after link Then I'll always be in love, I think I love to spend whole mornings in the kitchen Where it's warm as a kitten's tongue Where it always smells of cinnamon and clove Though a foot-high pot of coffee's on the stove And there I love to speak of sleepy summers They were longer when I was young And to tell of lazy picnics in the hills When the leaves were alive Alive with whippoorwills And I can't hold back my feelings And keep them safely sealed Love bursts out of me and flies Like a bird in a sunflower field If love is a chain of love As nature is a chain of life A chain that will always endure Then I'll always be in love I'll always be in love I'm sure
