The Old Road to Paradise/Denial
LOVE SONGS
DENIAL
It never would have hurt God To have made the world today So that your footsteps turned my way, So that our two paths crossed— But I went wearily up and down The streets of the empty-painted town And a whole day was lost!
Never your footsteps where mine trod, Never my words to you—And it all would have been so simple for God, So slight a thing to do!
