I have known the most dear that is granted us here,
More supreme than the gods know above,
Like a star I was hurled through the sweet of the world,
And the height and the light of it, Love.
I have risen to the uttermost Heaven of Joy,
I have sunk to the sheer Hell of Pain
Butits not going to happen again, my boy,
Its not going to happen again.
Its the very first word that poor Juliet heard
From her Romeo over the Styx;
And the Roman will tell Cleopatra in hell
When she starts her immortal old tricks;
What Paris was tellin for good-bye to Helen
When he bundled her into the train
Oh, its not going to happen again, old girl,
Its not going to happen again.
