Love Is a Sweet Thing

He was sitting on a corner with a bottle of beer

And the same shopping cart he'd been pushing for years

A big smile on his face

Like the first day of spring

All the people looked the other way, but they heard him sing

And he sang

"Love

Love is a sweet thing"

He sang "love

Love is a sweet thing"

She shot out of Texas

Like a bullet from a gun

With a van full of hippies and a band on the run

She didn't want to be famous

She just wanted to play

In old dive bars and pool halls she got up on stage

And she sang

"Love

Love is a sweet thing

Oh yes it is"

She sang "love

Love is a sweet, sweet thing"

It's everywhere you look

If you look hard enough

Its really not hard to see

Yeah, once you put your arms around it

You can never get too much

Love is a sweet, sweet thing

It's in the smile of a stranger

In the eyes of a child

On the corner of a crowded street

Its everywhere around us

Its always growing wild

Love is a sweet, sweet thing

Love

Love is a sweet thing

I sang "love, love, love

Love is a sweet thing

Love

Love is a sweet thing

Oh yes it is"

I sang "love, love, love

Love is a sweet, sweet thing

Oh, baby

Love

Love is a sweet thing"

I sang "love

Love is a sweet, sweet thing"
