Candide movie - Nothing More Than This lyrics

rate me

<br>

Is it this, the meaning of my life,<br>

The sacred trust I treasure,<br>

Nothing more than this?<br>

All of my hope and pleasure,<br>

No more than this?<br>

<br>

The love I dreamed and cried for,<br>

Nothing more than this?<br>

All that I killed and died for,<br>

No more than this?<br>

<br>

That smile, that face, that halo around it,<br>

That youth, that charm, that grace,<br>

Behold I have found it,<br>

Nothing more than this,<br>

No more than this.<br>

<br>

What did you dream,<br>

Angel face with flaxen hair,<br>

Soul as dead as face was fair?<br>

Did you ever care?<br>

<br>

Yes, you cared for what these purses hold,<br>

You cared for gold, you cared for gold.<br>

Take it for my kiss, my bitter kiss,<br>

Since it was this you wanted,<br>

No more than this.<br>

<br>
