Love is the thing that makes the world go round
Love is the thing that brings a smile from a frown
See the roses bloom in spring
Hear the birds as they sing
It's not the work of man
Do you understand?
Well, love is the thing

Love is the thing that glitters in the sky
Love is the thing that embraces [?]
See the pauper walk along hand in hand with the king
You might ask yourself
How can this be
Well, love is the key

I wonder where I'd be if Love had passed me by
I'd be like a bird without it's wings to fly
I'd die

Love is the thing that reaches to the sky
Love is the thing that makes the mountains high
You may ask where is this love
From beneath or above?
Please tell me oh my friend
Where is it then
Well, love is within
If I had but one wish that was granted to me
I would fill my life to capacity with His love
With His love

Love is the thing that stands when others fall
Love is the thing that brings the great from the small
You may think that flowers and toys
Hold together girls and boys
Please tell me oh, my friend
What is it then
Well, love is the thing
Love is the thing
Love is the thing
Love is the thing
Love is the thing
Love is the thing
