Love and Blessings

[Verse 1]

Love and blessings, simple kindness

Fell like rain on thirsty land

Fields and gardens long abandoned

Came to life in dust and sand

[Verse 2]

Lover's lips sweet as honey

Touched as if old love was new

Banker's pockets overflowing with gold and money

Prophesies of wealth come true

[Chorus]

(Bop-bop-a-whoa) Ain't no song like an old song, Charlie

(Bop-bop-a-whoa) There's no song like an old song

(Bop-bop-a-whoa) There ain't no time like a good time Charlie

(Bop-bop-a-whoa) Ain't no times like the good times, Charlie

Bop-bop-a-whoa, whoa

Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa

Everywhere you look anywhere you go

Everybody working for the Bop-bop-a-whoa

Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa

Can't get enough of the Bop-bop-a-whoa

Bop-bop-a-whoa, Bop-bop-a-whoa

[Verse 3]

If the summer kept a secret

It was heaven's lack of rain

Golden days and amber sunsets

Let the scientists complain

[Verse 4]

Came the autumn, drained of color

Ghosts in the water beg for more

Maple trees just a little bit duller

Than the memory of the year before

[Verse 5]

In a word, or in an image

Something called me from my sleep

Love and blessings, simple kindness

Ours to hold but not to keep
