He was sitting on a 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
  And 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 and a band on the run
  She didn't want to be famous
  She just wanted to play
  In 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
  Its really not hard to see
  Yeah, once you put your arms around it
  You can never get too much
  Love is a sweet, sweet thing
    It's in the smile of a stranger
  In the eyes of a child
  On the corner of a crowded street
  Its everywhere around us
  Its 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 a sweet thing"
  I sang "love
  Love is a sweet, sweet thing"
