How Is It

from It Is Time by Ginger Ackley

/

about

How Is It? is a rather light-hearted tune, and you can even hear a smile in the voice as the question is asked, “How is it you did not know that you had taken my heart?” As the legacy of folk songs shows, it has always seemed incredible that one could be so in love, yet the object of that affection remains oblivious. In How Is It? , I must admit that I do employ a bit of the bard's weapon, satire, to the story – which shows that one should not be careless about breaking a bard's heart! Hint: the lines of the verses are arranged purposely...

lyrics

Chorus: Oh, how is it you did not know from the very start?
Oh, how is it you did not know that you had taken my heart?

Day and night I stayed with you.
I gave you songs to sing, I
Cherished every moment that
Kept me beneath your wing. Chorus

Dancing 'round my willing heart,
I thought I saw you smile
Creating here a growing hope
Kindling there love's fire! Chorus

Dreams of you still make me smile
I think they always will, but its
Chasing wishful fantasies, I
Know it cannot be real! Chorus
