Love is the thing
What does it matther if we're rich
Or we are poor?
Fortune and fame they never endure
Oh love is the thing, love is the thing!
What good is money if your heart is all right?
Here in your arms I'm wealthy tonight
For youth has its flame
Love is the thing!
While others fight for power
We can walk among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is a thing that is free
Love for you and me
And even though our castles crumb and fall
We have the right to laugh at them all
For love is still keen
Love is the thing!
