Love Is The Thing

My darling, all around us people clamor
 They're striving for the thing they'll never own
 The only thing that hasn't lost its glamor
 Is love and love alone
 What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor?
 Fortune and fame, they never endure
 For love is the thing, love is the thing
 What good is money if your heart isn't light?
 And here in your arms, I'm wealthy tonight
 When youth has its fling, love is the thing
 While others fight for power
 We can walk among the flowers
 Knowing that the best thing in life is the thing that is free
 Love, for you and me
 And even though our castles crumble and fall
 We have the right to laugh at them all
 For love is still king, love is the thing
 While others fight for power
 We can walk among the flowers
 Knowing that the best thing in life is the thing that is free
 Love, for you and me
 And even though our castles crumble and fall
 We have the right to laugh at them all
 For love is still king, love is the thing
