Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Gay little will o’ the wisp
I’ve followed you near and far
You’ve winked and you’ve twinked
And you’ve beckoned me on
Like the will o’ the wisp that you are
Then just when I’d think I had caught you at last
I’d find you were not there at all
You’d vanish before you were quite within grasp
And my pride would get a great fall
At last, little will o’ the wisp
I know where your hiding place lies
My diligent seeking has not been in vain
I’ve found you in somebody’s eyes
And never again shall I let you escape
I swear it by stars up above
Forever I’ll hold you, sweet pris’ner of fate
My own little true light o’ love
