No Love Is Sorrow

            Dm                       Am 
Just like the songbird, deep in the forest, 
        Am7                  Dm 
I sing praises but you never hear; 
(Bb)                       C 
And deep in my body my soul is silent, 
         Am7                  Dm 
But contented at times when you're near. 

 
            Dm                       Am 
Please listen to me and I will tell thee, 
        Am7                  Dm 
All those words that have never been said; 
(Bb)                       C 
They shout inside me but then they cower 
        Am7                  Dm 
Behind weakness that's ruling my head. 


            Dm                       Am 
I dearly love thee and not one other 
        Am7                         Dm 
Will know sweetness that lies in my breast; 
(Bb)                       C 
'Tis you that made me but God forbade me 
        Am7                  Dm 
To uncover my heart to love's test. 

 
            Dm                       Am 
No love is sorrow and now I'm happy 
        Am7                  Dm 
To have thee in this world for my love; 
(Bb)                       C 
And now you must know my soul is for thee; 
        Am7                  Dm 
That's why this love is my soaring dove: 
        Am7                  Dm 
That's why this love is my soaring dove.
