Plucked like a petal
A single note rings
Straining its voice to be heard
And, quite like an angel
The maiden who sings
Quotes poetic grace
Word for word
With a step to the left
And a tap to the right
The mare keeps a beat
With her hooves
And so dance the elves
And their shadows at night
As the laugh, side by side
In the woods
And all she needs now is love
Someone to hold her late at night
To be together until the morning light comes
All she needs now is love
When will she ever be satisfied?
And she'll never know 'cause she's never tried, oh-oh
She's never tried
Then the little bird
With the dusty blue wings
Hears as he flies through the trees
Encircling the clearing
He joins in and sings
Then goes home to the sky
On the breeze
And all he needs now is love
He says he's looking for the right one
Unless he opens his eyes
She'll have come and gone
All he needs now is love
When will he ever be satisfied
You know he claims he is
And that he's never lied, oh-oh
He's never lied
The maiden, beaming
Looks to the stars
At peace with the heavens above
She says with a smile
And a gleam in her eye
To think, all I need now is love
All she needs now is love
All he needs is a little love
All they need is love, love
Love, love, love
This faerie dream ain't make believe
And what is meant to be will be
