Joy Beyond Measure, Mother! (from Little Women)

Mark Adamo

Joy beyond measure, Mother! Happier than ever I have been!

It's happened. At last, it's happened. 

I feel it in all he says and does.

And it makes me so happy,

and it makes me so humble that I'm not at all the same girl I was.

For I am loved. I am loved.

Loved beyond compare. Loved, loved beyond belief.

And we say promise- ours the hours.

We say forever, ours the hours, we say hand joined to hand.

To our beloved here we say;

We say ours the hours ever,

Ours the hours ever, And

We'll come home in the Spring,

Love to everyone.

If only Bethy could have seen us.
