The most beautiful woman ever seen was the bride he chose his queen Pillowed on their royal bed, whispering to her soul he said: "Though a bridegroom never pressed dearer bosom to his chest But mortal flesh must come to clay and even these shall pass away" Towering over the village square, thirty meters in the air Rose his statue, carved in stone, as the king stood there alone Gazing at his sculptured name, said to himself, "So what is fame ? Fame, it's but slow decay, even this shall pass away" Fighting furiously on a battlefield, once a javelin pierced his shield Soldiers with a loud lament bore him bleeding to his tent Groaning from his tortured side, "Pain is hard to bear", he cried "Oh, but with patience day by day, even this shall pass away" Sick and sore with cancer; weak and tired and old, just minutes yet to go to pass the gates o' gold Spake he with his dying breath, "Life is done, so what is death ?" Then in answer to the king fell a sunbeam on his ring Reflecting words he failed to say: "Even this shall pass away" Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Run Around, Run Rudolph Run, San Francisco Dues, School Days, Some People, Soul Rocking, St. Louis Blues, Still Got The Blues, Sue Ann Sir, Sweet Little RocknRoller, Sweet Little Sixteen, Sweet Sixteen, Talking About My Buddy, Tell You About My Buddy, The Festival, The Love I Lost, The Things I Used To Do, Thirteen Question Method, Thirty Days, Together Well Always Be, Too Much Monkey Business, Too Pooped To Pop, Tulane, Viva Viva RocknRoll, Wee Hours Blues, Wee Wee Hours, Welcome Back Pretty Baby, Why Should We End This Way, Worried Life Blues, Wudent Me, You And My Country, You Cant Catch Me, You Never Can Tell, Desperate Measures, Every Time My Heart Calls Your Name, Faithfully, Forty Again, I Never Lost You, I Think About It All The Time, If I Had Any Pride Left At All, Ninety Miles An Hour, Prove Me Wrong, Shes Taken A Shine, Shes Taken a Shine, Somebody, Standing On The Edge Of Goodbye, Theres No Cross That Love Wont Bear, Theres No Cross That Love Wont Bear, What Are We Fighting For, You And Only You, Other Berry Chuck song Lyrics Aimlessly Drifting Lyrics Aint That Just Like A Woman Lyrics Almost Grown Lyrics Anthony Boy Lyrics Around And Around Lyrics Back In The USA Lyrics Back To Memphis Lyrics Beautiful Delilah Lyrics Betty Jean Lyrics Bio Lyrics Bonsoir Chrie Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Chuck Berry Lyrics Berry John Lyrics Berry Sakharof Lyrics Bersani Samuele Lyrics Berserk Lyrics Bersuit Vergarabat La Lyrics Bert and Ernie Lyrics Bert Lown Lyrics Bert Newton Lyrics Bert Visser Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
