THIS SPARK OF NEW LOVE
©Trev Teasdel, Coventry February 1973


If we could keep this spark of new love
Throughout the years to come
How wonderful our lives would be
How blessed we would be.


She takes you to her room – you’re overjoyed
That she has taken notice of you,
You’ve been lonely a long long long time.
Nothing’s too much trouble – you’re very much in love.
Her first kiss brings tears of a long for dream come true.
She seats you down, the coffee’s on, she treats you tenderly thoughtfully
You’re intoxicated with love’s tender tranquillity.
You’re heart is filled with joy.
You have a lot to talk about, there’s a fluent intercourse
of words and time enough for tenderness.


Laughter’s overflowing but Champaign isn’t needed
And nothing’s too much trouble. Interest is stimulated.
If this feeling could last every time that I were to meet you,
How wonderful our lives could be, how blessed we would be.
To cast off careworn coats of loneliness.
To save each other from the drowning seas we’re in.
If we could keep this spark of new love
throughout the years to come
How wonderful our lives would be
How blessed we would be.
