Love learns by laughing
Language: English
Love learns by laughing first to speak, by laughing first to speak, Then slyly gains cares passing great. Fa la la la la la. But I will laugh, but I will laugh, will laugh, but I will laugh without that care, And bid love touch me if he dare. Fa la la la la la la.
