lyrics
Text from Christine de Pisan, translated from old french by Dwight Durling
If I'm In Church More Often Now
It’s just that I can see her there
Fresh as new-opened roses are.
Why gossip of it, why endow
It with such consequence? Why stare
If I’m in church more often now?
Where I may go—or when—or how
It is to come more near to her.
Fools call me fool! It’s whose affair
If I’m in church more often now?
If I'm In Church More Often Now
It’s just that I can see her there
Fresh as new-opened roses are.
Why gossip of it, why endow
It with such consequence? Why stare
If I’m in church more often now?
Where I may go—or when—or how
It is to come more near to her.
Fools call me fool! It’s whose affair
If I’m in church more often now?
