WON'T BE LONG
-by Dingus Donogal

Tomorra' isna' promised to us martals here b'low,
   For loif on Earth is fragile and 'tis soon we hafta' go.
So if ye think t'hold a grudge be careful what ye say;
   'Cause won't be long, the friend is gone, and from ye slipped away.
   'Cause won't be long, the friend is gone, and from ye slipped away.

​

Enjoy the one beside ye be they woman or a man.
   For even if we disagree we do the best we can.
Appreciate their value if in friendship or in love;
   'Cause won't be long they'll soon be gone and taken up above.
   'Cause won't be long they'll soon be gone and taken up above.

​

Open up yer heart a bit, be willin' just t'share.
   The odds are good that next to ye is someone needin' care.
Maybe just a friendly word or greetin' t'be told.
   'Cause won't be long they'll soon be gone and opportune's gone cold.
   'Cause won't be long they'll soon be gone and opportune's gone cold.

​

Understand the words me friends, I don't mean just romance.
   But could be just a simple talk, or wee and harmless dance.
Be open tho' to sparks o' love if hearts t'gether grow;
   'Cause won't be long that they'll be gone and mem'ry's all ye'll hold.
   'Cause won't be long that they'll be gone and mem'ry's all ye'll hold.
