Never to Part Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little virgin clean and bright
Milk, white skin hidden from night
Unblemished are your private parts
Desire can't oppress your light
Puerile movements that you make
Will not make men hesitate
Lest your charms are all revealed
Then your power you may wield

[Chorus]
Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part till now
Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part till now

[Bridge]
Child, all of these things I've done for you
Child, we are only thinking of you

[Verse 2]
Little virgin sweetly made
Knows not of the plans we've laid
Guard the fragile flickering light
To extinguish as we like
Free from every wicked thing
You'll receive a diamond ring
Prepubescent wedding day
Thereupon you'll lay your head
[Chorus]
Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part till now
Do not furrow that perfect brow
Chaste lips never to part till now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
