Chain of Love Lyrics by Barbara Cook

The Grass Harp: A Musical Play (1971 Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1972

[DOLLY]
If love is a chain of love
As nature is a chain of life
With link after link after link
Then I've always been in love, I think
No youth ever stole my heart
No suitor ever sought my hand
I’ve nothing at all to confess
Yet, I've always been in love, I guess
I love a cat-shaped cloud
The sound of rain
A face of frost
On a window pane
With so many links in the chain
Each love collects in me
Like honey inside a bee
If love is a chain of love
As nature is a chain of life
With link after link after link
Then I'll always be in love, I think
I love to spend whole mornings in the kitchen
Where it’s warm as a kitten's tongue
Where it always smells of cinnamon and clove
Though a foot-high pot of coffee's on the stove
And there I love to speak of sleepy summers
They were longer when I was young
And to tell of lazy picnics in the hills
When the leaves were alive
Alive with whippoorwills
And I can't hold back my feelings
And keep them safely sealed
Love bursts out of me and flies
Like a bird in a sunflower field
If love is a chain of love
As nature is a chain of life
A chain that will always endure
Then I'll always be in love
I'll always be in love
I'm sure
