Lyrics:

Love is the sweetest thing,

What else on earth could ever bring

Such happiness to ev'rything

As love's old story.

Love is the strangest thing,

No song of birds upon the wing

Shall in our hearts more sweetly sing

Than love's old story.


Whatever heart may desire,

Whatever fate may send,

This is the tale that never will tire,

This is the song without end.


Love is the greatest thing,

The oldest yest the latest thing,

I only hope that fate can bring

Love's story to you.


Whether you've gone after worldly success,

Making your place in the sun;

Whether your income's a million or less,

Just when you think all the prizes you've won,

You'll wake to learn after all's said and done:
