Lyrics
Who can say what love is?
Does it start in the mind or the heart?
When I hear discussions on what love is
Everybody speaks a different part
Refrain:
Love is funny, or it’s sad
Or it’s quiet, or it’s mad
It’s a good thing, or it’s bad
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall
And I’m thinking
I wouldn’t mind at all
Love is tearful, or it’s gay
It’s a problem, or it’s play
It’s a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I’m thinking, if you were mine
I’d never let you go
And that would be but beautiful
I know
