Poets write fancy things about love
But they don't have no call
Love is like birth or death or taxes
Love just is, that's all
Melody
Love is a simple thing, love is a silver ring
Shiny as a ribbon bow, soft as a quiet snow
Love is a nursery rhyme, old as the tick of time
Love is so many things, bright as an angel's wings
Gentle as the morning light, long as a winter night
Love makes an old heart sing
And it fills ev'ry empty space, love is a warming place
Love is a simple thing
Love is a simple thing, love is a magic ring
Much more fun than mistletoe, gay as a puppet show
Love is the thunder and rain, swift as a soaring plane
Love is a summer moon, gay as a big balloon
Young as a calliope, wild as a storm at sea
Love is a touch of spring
It's as sweet as a first embrace, love is a special place
Love is a simple thing
