Subject: Lyr Add: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM DRINKING? (SATIRE)
Someone may have done this long ago, but I've not found it. So here it is. Have fun this New Year. ^^ HOW CAN I KEEP FROM DRINKING?
My life flowed on in endless song Of pain and lamentation But a joyful sound above the throng The call of sweet libation
Through all the tumult and the strife That gets my soul a-sinking The joy a dram confers in life How can I keep from drinking?
Though doubting thoughts torment my soul Oh, if my Savior liveth There's none can shake what I well know The joy the bottle giveth.
No storm disturbs my inmost calm When doubt sets me a-thinking There's peace assured held in my palm How can I keep from drinking?
I lift mine eyes, the cloud grows thin I see the blue above it Each passing day new joys begin Since first I learned to love it
That gentle flow none can malign A fountain ever springing All things are fine since I am thine How can I keep from drinking?
