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
