Hard Times
Resonating Echoes of Hardship: Danny Gruff's Timeless Melody
Lyrics
Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears
Reflecting on life's pleasures and acknowledging its sorrows.
While we all ‘sup sorrow with the poor
Sharing sorrow with those less fortunate.
There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears
An enduring song that will be remembered through time.
O, hard times come again no more
Expressing a hope for difficult times to not return.
There’s a song, sigh of the weary
Describing a song as a sigh from the weary.
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Reiterating the wish for hard times to cease.
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Addressing the prolonged presence of hard times near the speaker's home.
O hard times come again no more
Renewing the plea for difficult times to end.
While we seek mirth and beauty, and music light and gay
While seeking joy, beauty, and music, recognizing the frailty of those suffering at the doorstep.
They’re frail forms fainting at the door
Highlighting the vulnerability of individuals facing hardships.
Though the voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Even in silence, the expressions on their faces convey the plea for relief from tough times.
O, hard times come again no more
Repeating the desire for hard times to be averted.
There’s a song, sigh of the weary
Re-emphasizing the song as a sigh from the weary.
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Repeating the plea to avoid the return of difficult times.
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Recalling the prolonged presence of challenges near the speaker's home.
O hard times come again no more
Renewing the plea for an end to hard times.
There’s a song, sigh of the weary
Reiterating the song as a sigh from the weary.
Hard times, hard times come again no more
Repeating the wish for the cessation of hard times.
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Stressing the enduring nature of challenges near the speaker's cabin.
O hard times come again no more
Renewing the plea for the avoidance of hard times.
O hard times come again no more
Final plea to prevent the recurrence of difficult times.
