Classic Poem

VERSE

My darling, all around us people clamor,
They're striving for the things they'll never own.
The only thing that hasn't lost its glamour
Is love and love alone.

REFRAIN

What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor?
Fortune and fame, they never endure.
Oh, love is the thing,
Love is the thing!
What good is money if your heart isn't light?
Here in your arms, I'm wealthy tonight.
When youth has its fling,
Love is the thing!
While others fight for pow'r,
We can walk among the flow'rs,
Knowing that the best thing in life is a thing that's free,
Love for you and me.
And even tho' our castles crumble and fall,
We have the right to laugh at them all,
For love is still King,
Love is the thing!
