"Oh Love Hast Thou Forsaken Me"
(William Bowers)

My future is brilliant, I'm known as a brain
To the top my efforts have taken me
I have never known fear
Was the girl of the year
But love, hast thou forsaken me?

I'm a stranger to failure and financial strain
For a star a fan has mistaken me
I've come down, there's a hunch
From the mayflower bunch
But love, hast thou forsaken me?

Oh love, why dost thou linger?
Am I difficult to find?
If thou can't see my lonely heart
Then love, thou must be blind

I merely exist on my cultural plain
And my failure in romance has shaken me
I've announced every spring
That my heart's in the ring
Is there no thrilling kiss to awaken me?
Oh love, hast thou forsaken me?
