My darling, all around us people clamor
They're striving for the thing they'll ever 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 right?
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 flowеrs
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is a thing that's free
Lovе 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

[Instrumental Break]
While others fight for power
We can walk among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing 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 still king
Love is the thing
