BROADWAY TORCH SONG

NN~1--C And I am one with heartbreak
 and its rites.
 There Is a magic in the shadowed
 past
 when love was new-and love was
 meant to last.
 And laughing eyes had never
 learned to cry;
 You must forgive lad who found
 too late
 That love had left and locked the
 hidden gate.
 DON VAIN.
