My darling, all around us people clamorThey're striving for the thing they'll never ownThe only thing that hasn't lost its glamorIs love and love aloneWhat does it matter if we're rich or we're poor?Fortune and fame, they never endureFor love is the thing, love is the thingWhat good is money if your heart isn't light?And here in your arms, I'm wealthy tonightWhen youth has its fling, love is the thingWhile others fight for powerWe can walk among the flowersKnowing that the best thing in life is the thing that is freeLove, for you and meAnd even though our castles crumble and fallWe have the right to laugh at them allFor love is still king, love is the thingWhile others fight for powerWe can walk among the flowersKnowing that the best thing in life is the thing that is freeLove, for you and meAnd even though our castles crumble and fallWe have the right to laugh at them allFor love is still king, love is the thing
