Grief Built The Taj Mahal
When the Emperor lost his brideAt first he lay in bed and cried'Til she came to him in a dreamWith words of consolationDeath is untrue, I’m merely sleepingI’m waiting for you in a world way beyond weepingJoin me there soon, until you’re mineBuild me a marble ValentineLet the world know grief built the Taj MahalWhen the Emperor rubbed his eyesAnd as new morning filled the skiesEnergized by his dreamThe Emperor was moved toSummon his men, he ordered themFind me the whitest of stoneLet its radiance remind meOf all I have lostThe source of my painThe joy that in time I will regainLet the world knowGrief built the Taj MahalAs for the costWhat is the price of love unlostLet the world knowGrief built the Taj Mahal
