Lyrics
I’ll Love You More for Losing You a While Verse: Ev’ry heart must learn the sadness of the words “Au Revoir” But that sorrow only makes us love our loved ones the more So don’t be down-hearted for after we’re parted All the world will seem like Heaven when we meet once again Refrain: We learn to love the flowers when the snows are here And winter only makes the summer rose more dear All the gray up in the sky is not there to make you sigh But it floats above to make you love the sun when clouds roll by Altho’ each day that you’re away will be a trial ‘Twill make the day when you return to me worth while And tho’ this goodbye kiss breaks my heart remember this I’ll love you more for losing you a while. Verse: Tho’ the winter makes a fleeting myth of each budding rose Tho’ it covers ev’ry bower with a blanket of snows We’ll still hide our sorrow for we know tomorrow Will return each rose more sweet and fair when spring fills the air Refrain
