He was sitting 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...



Chorus:

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 a 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...



(chorus)



It's everywhere you look

If you look hard enough

It's really not too hard to see

And once you've 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

It's in the eye of a child

On the corner of a crowded street

It's everywhere around us

It's always growing wild

Love is a sweet thing



(chorus
