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
