GREENWOLFE 1962 - Love Uncertain

I guess you lost your patience,
And found a broken heart.
I should have told you sooner,
Uncertain love's, not smart.

In courting love uncertain,
You can't get any more;
Than what they choose to give you,
I told you this before.

I'm sorry for your feelings.
I know you're very hurt.
But when you take a lover,
You get a just dessert.

So while a cherished moment,
May seem a certain love.
Remember, love forever,
Is what you're dreaming of.

And that is what it is you see.
A dream that can't come true;
As long as you're pursuing,
Uncertain loves, untrue.

So stop, and just consider,
Should you become its wife;
The choice of love uncertain,
Means chosen pain for life.

With painful love considered,
You must now fear the thought.
So run from love uncertain,
It always comes to naught.
