PASS IT ON
This beautiful song was written by my wonderful husband, Jas Hilsdon. He said this about it:
“From early 1976, when I was wandering in a wilderness called Life, in search of a wilderness called Love, I am reminded of this little gem that, after all these years I fully confess is not sung well, but contains lyrics that have come to mean more to me than they did when I wrote them, wherever they came from. Please enjoy. And if you like it, pass it on.”
PASS IT ON
LOVE IS ONLY IN YOUR HEART
THOUGH IT MAY BE HARD TO SPOT
IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY
LOVE IS IN YOUR HEART TO STAY
AND IT’S VERY GOOD TO KNOW
YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU
WHEREVER YOU GO
THERE ARE THOSE WHO TRULY SEE
HOW TO TURN THE SECRET KEY
AND UNLOCK THE GOLDEN DOOR
TO THEIR HEARTS FOREVER MORE
AND EACH DAY AS YOU BECOME
VERY SURE, THEN PASS IT ON
PASS IT ON AND LET IT GO THRU
GIVE IT AWAY, IT’S GIVEN TO YOU
PASS IT ALONG AND SEND IT AROUND
LET IT POUR UP, AND LET IT FLOW DOWN
ALL AROUND___ YOU
(Instrumental Break)

LOVE IS OLD, LOVE IS NEW
THOUGH IT MAY BE HARD TO DO
IT WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND
LOVE WAS MADE TO BE FOUND
IT CAN EASILY COME THRU YOU
AND NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE
IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU
LOVERS COME AND LOVERS GO
AND IT’S VERY GOOD TO KNOW
THAT A HEART THAT’S TRULY FREE
GIVES OFF LOVE ENDLESSLY
AND AT LAST WHEN YOU’VE BECOME
VERY SURE, THEN PASS IT ON
PASS IT ON AND LET IT GO THRU
GIVE IT AWAY, IT’S GIVEN TO YOU
PASS IT ALONG AND SEND IT AROUND
LET IT POUR UP, AND LET IT FLOW DOWN
ALL AROUND___ YOU
Written January 1976
