Love was there when the world was started,
And love was put in the heart of man,
Love was the thing which kept the world going,
Love was God’s own perfect plan.
Love is a precious and wonderful thing
which sets someone’s heart aglow,
Love is a pleasant, unimpatient thing,
which makes us love both friend and foe.
We all love someone, though we may try
to fight against this love.
But how can we stop all this loving
When the love comes from above?
Love is warm and exciting
It drives one right round the bend,
And the one who we fall in love with
Is the one on whom we depend.
Love should never be jealous,
But kind and helpful and true,
And when at last we find we’re in love
That person should love us too.
