By Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain
LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDOURED THING,
IT'S THE APRIL ROSE THAT ONLY GROWS
IN THE EARLY SPRING
LOVE IS NATURE'S WAY OF GIVING
A REASON TO BE LIVING,
THE GOLDEN CROWN THAT MAKES A MAN A KING
ONCE ON A HIGH AND WINDY HILL,
IN THE MORNING MIST, TWO LOVERS KISSED
AND THE WORLD STOOD STILL
THEN YOUR FINGERS TOUCHED MY SILENT HEART
AND TAUGHT IT HOW TO SING,
YES, TRUE LOVE'S A MANY SPLENDOURED THING
ONCE ON A HIGH AND WINDY HILL,
IN THE MORNING MIST, TWO LOVERS KISSED
AND THE WORLD STOOD STILL
THEN YOUR FINGERS TOUCHED MY SILENT HEART
AND TAUGHT IT HOW TO SING,
YES, TRUE LOVE'S A MANY SPLENDOURED THING
