After This You Needn'T Regret

After this you needn't regret Your life is bourn as your child today Voudrais tu une cigarette? All stakes are high upon this bet Though grace and patience is all to pay After this you needn't regret In warmth and bonds may trust inset The glow of knowing till egos play Voudrais tu une cigarette? Advice wears over for angst's outlet Never rash nor heavy, never lose light in day After this you needn't regret In a wink and a worry in your Autumn set A thought to the child now grown away Voudrais tu une cigarette? Then a day your child takes up the fret You smile to see their berth and say: After this you needn't regret Voudrais tu une cigarette?
