Ah Sweet Mystery of Life
RIDA JOHNSON YOUNG, VICTOR HERBERT
Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee
Ah, I know at last the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
The burning hopes, the joy, and idle tears that fall
For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking
And 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living
For it is love alone that rules for aye
Love, and love alone, the world is seeking
For 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living
For it is love alone that rules for aye
