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
