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 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 is 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 power We can walk among the flowers Knowing that the best things in life Is a thing that’s 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 the thing Love is still king
