Singing there will come, another April day
Dear Lord. I?m thankful, for a wish come true For each Sunday morn, 1 look at you Lo! When the chapel window opens wide I raise my leafy leaves and look inside I love to hear the organ softly play And watch the faithful, bow their heads and pray Though I am nothing but and humble bush I?m growing here, because, it is your wish.
Inspired by the elderberry bush that grows at the St. Joseph?s chapel window
REFRAIN
I have a dream for sale
One that is very dear to me
But what seeins so queer to me
I want to sell my dream
My dream was born neath the sky
With no one but my love and I
We never knew our romance would die
I want to sell my dream
The air was fragrant with roses
Star peeped out from above
We arc ever so happy, the night was full of love
Please, buy my dream
It is made of love divine
but it never can be mine
I have a dream for sale.
Take a hand full of blue, from out of the sky Take the song of a bird, as he fly?s by Take the fragrance of roses on an April mom And lo! A song is born
Take the sigh of the leaves, as the wind passes through Take the flowers, in the meadow caressed by the dew Take the smile of two lovers, as they stroll arm in arm And lo! A song is born
Sept. 26, 1957
THE ELDERBERRY BUSH
I HAVE A DREAM FOR SALE
RECIPE FOR A SONG
Take a star sprinkled heaven and a moon in its flight
