    A Song
    Beautiful Wonderful Love
    Look at the that are shining up in
    the Heavens above
    And think of the hearts that are
    pining
    For beautiful wonderful love
    Chorus
    O for the love of a mother
    Bending o'er her child
    Sweet is the love of a brother
    Delicate soft and mild
    Give me the love of a maiden
    O'er in yonder grove,
    And keeping my poor heart always
    Laden with beautiful wonderful love
    II
    Come from the starts that are shin-
    ing up in the Heavens above
    Come to the heart that are pining
    For beautiful wonderful love
    This song was composed about four years ago by,
