Song Description

Ain't love grand is intended to be punctuated with an exclamation point, but, in the end, that exclamation point may have to be replaced by a question mark, as love moves from the intense to almost cool...and from all-consuming to boring.

Lyrics

Now ain't love grand...When we'd go a walkin'

Now ain't love grand...the folks'ld all be talkin'

Now ain't love grand...and endlessly a gawkin', at the gal on my arm.

Now ain't love grand...And when we'd get to kissin'

Now ain't love grand...they'd all be reminiscin'

Now ain't love grand...at what they'd been a missin' of love's splendor and charm.

Chorus:

But that was only yesterday when skies were never, ever gray,

and everyone would always say, "Now, ain't love grand!"


Now ain't love grand...Those precious moments stolen,

Now ain't love grand...as time just keeps a rollin'

Now ain't love grand...I hear the bells a tollin', back when love was so new.

Now ain't love grand...Echoes, fading in the distance

Now ain't love grand...of love's passionate insistence

Now ain't love grand...that there could be no existence without the nearness of you.

Chorus:

But that was only yesterday when skies were never, ever gray,

and everyone would always say, "Now, ain't love grand!"



Now ain't love grand...Exc1amation point intended

Now ain't love grand...but those mixed emotions blended

Now ain't love grand...and, with question mark it ended.

Now, ain't love grand?

Chorus:

But that was only yesterday when skies were never, ever gray,

and everyone would always say, "Now, ain't love grand!"
