VERSE

Lovely interlude,
Most romantic mood,
And your attitude is right, dear.
Sweetheart!
You have me under a spell!
Now my dream is real!
That is why I feel
Such a strong appeal tonight!
Somehow
All my reason takes flight,
Dear.

REFRAIN

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me,
I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes,
Bright as the stars we're under.
Oh! Is it any wonder

VERSE

Never treat others with scorn,
We're only here 'cause we're born.
Although you're " way up "
You may not " stay up. "
Stop tooting your horn.
Why boast of the wealth you possess
High on the hill of success?
On friendship you never should frown,
You'll need the same friends
On the weary way down!

REFRAIN

So love thy neighbor,
Walk up and say " How be ya!
Gee! but I'm glad to see ya.
Pal, How's tricks? What's new? "
Love thy neighbor,

VERSE

Oh,
What has happened to me?
I'm the happiest one,
I'm a son of a gun,
And I'm ridin' on high.
Oh,
What has happened to me?
I'm the silliest goose,
I'm a happy papoose,
And I'll tell you just why,
Yes, I'll tell you just why.
I, I, I, I, I, I.

REFRAIN

I sing when I'm talkin',
I dance when I'm walkin',
And oh! how lovely it feels
Just to be, to be, to be,
Head over heels in love.
Can't sleep a wink
And I can't even think,

VERSE

I was the type who would laugh at romance,
Called it a lot of Chop Suey,
I was finished with that sort of hooey.
But we never learn, do we?
My point of view is completely reversed,
I find that I'm just as " scroo-ey. "

REFRAIN

It's love again,
It's love again,
I'll shout it from the housetops up above again,
That state of sweet inanity
That borders on insanity
Is love again.
I feel the urge again
To merge again
And melodies of love within me surge again.

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,

VERSE

There's something inside of my heart that cries,
It cries, for it wants to live.
A song of devotion, a song that speaks of love.
It's hard to believe that you can't surmise
The treasure I have to give.
Is love out of fashion, the thing that I'm dreaming of?

REFRAIN

Give me a heart to sing to,
Or my song you'll never hear.
For I must have a heart to sing to,
Or my song wouldn't be sincere.
Give me your love to guide me,
Let us find a world apart.

VERSE

From the Island of Manhattan to the Coast of Gold,
From North to South, from East to West,
You are the love I love the best.
You're the dream girl of the sweetest story ever told;
A dream I've sought both night and day
For years through all the U.S.A.
The star I've hitched my wagon to
Is very obviously you.

REFRAIN

Of thee I sing, baby —
Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, baby.
You're my silver lining,
You're my sky of blue;
There's a love-light shining

VERSE

When the mellow moon begins to beam,
Ev'ry night I dream a little dream;
And of course Prince Charming is the theme:
The he
For me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
To me it's clear
That he'll appear.

REFRAIN

Some day he'll come along,
The man I love;
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love;
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay.
He'll look at me and smile —
I'll understand;

There was a maid come out of Kent,
Dainty love, dainty love;
There was a maide came out of Kent,
Dangerous be:
There was a maid came out of Kent,
Fair, proper, small and gent,
As ever upon the ground went,
For so should it be.

VERSE

Song is in the air,
Telling us romance is ours to share.
Now at last we've found one another alone.
Love like yours and mine
Has the thrilling glow of sparkling wine,
Make the most of time ere it has flown.

REFRAIN

You and the night and the music
Fill me with flaming desire,
Setting my being completely
On fire!
Thrill me, but will we be one,
After the night and the music
Are done?
Our hearts will be throbbing guitars.
Morning may come without warning,
And take away the stars.
