There's a clock on the wall and it's measuring down <br />The time you have left til you're dust on the ground <br />The people you love with the time that you've got <br />Determine if you are rememebered or not <br />Viva l'amour, viva l'amour! <br /> <br />Stiff-collared businessmen feeling worn out <br />Shiftmen and driftmen they've forgotten about <br />Churchmen and craftsmen and madmen and whores <br />Are slaving their lives away. What about yours? <br /> <br />Traveling salesmen, homeless and kings <br />Dishearted lovers with Danieli rings <br />With all you don't have and with all that you're not <br />Go back to love's daydreams, they're all that you've got <br /> <br />Viva l'amour, viva l'amour! <br /> <br />So for all you hard workers from LA to Paris <br />Open your eyes, tell me what do you see? <br />Remember September, Septembers before <br />The wheel keeps on turning, so children <br />Viva l'amour!<br /><br />Christine Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/viva-l-amour/
