Love Is The Thing

Love Is The Thing - Ethel Waters

My darling all around us

People clamour

They're striving

For the thing they'll never own

The only thing

That hasn't lost its glamour

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
