To Suffer & to Smile Lyrics

I can remember one SUMMER so LIFE-LIKE
So LONG AGO that it probably wasn't even REAL
Yet a CONSTANT LONGING keeps tormenting my DREAMS
Ignorance is bliss.
Ignorance is bliss.

All ye YOUNG ONES down there by the waterfront
They cannot see the SKYLINE
Turning DARK above their heads
As the BLACK CLOUDS keep gathering around them Looming over like a
LIFE-LONG MALEDICTION

Ignorance is bliss.
To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.
To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.
To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.
To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.

Ignorance is bliss.]

To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.
To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.
To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.
To suffer. To suffer. To suffer and to smile.
Ignorance is bliss.

I can remember what a WISE MAN once said to me:
"I tell you to ENJOY LIFE.
I wish I could but it's TOO LATE now!"

It's too late.
