It Is Never a Waste to Love

Do me this favor and tell me

It is never in vain to love.

Tell me I shouldn’t go on crying

For all the years I spent wishing

For all the time I gave and gave

Without receiving anything in return.

Yes, do me this favor and tell me

That the love I gave wasn’t wasted.

That all this time I was doing

Something that has some meaning.

Some worth in the scheme of things.

And though I may not see

Any love returning

Though I may not know how or when

Things will turn out well,

I will hold on in faith believing

That there is some good

in the scheme of things.

That the time we spend loving

Is a time worth spending

And the heart that has truly loved,

Will yield its harvest in the end.
