TILL THEN MY LOVE
(Jack Canning / Hodges)

as recorded by Matt Monro
1973


When the willow doesn't bend to the breeze
And the river doesn't run to the seas,
When the golden grain
Isn't kissed by the rain,
I will love you till then, my love!

When the sunlight doesn't shine from afar
And the steeple doesn't point to a star,
When the mission bell
Doesn't ring "all is well",
I will love you till then, my love!

I will promise you love, never sadness,
Laughter and joy, never tears.
I will bring to you moments of gladness,
And happiness all through the years!

When the valley isn't green in the spring,
And the bluebird doesn't soar on the wing,
When the mountain high
Doesn't reach the sky,
I will love you till then,
I will love you till then, my love,
I will love you,
I will love you!
