He was sittin' on the 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
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 in the band on the run
She didn't wanna be famous, she just wanted to play
At 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
It's really not too hard to see
Yeah once you've put your arms around it
You can never get too much
Love is a sweet, sweet thing

It's in smile of a stranger
In the eyes of a child
On the corner of a crowded street
It's everywhere around us
It's 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 sweet thing
I sang
Love
Love is a sweet sweet thing
