Ambrose and His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is the sweetest thing
What else on earth could ever bring
Such happiness to ev'rything
As Love's old story.

Love is the strangest thing
No song of birds upon the wing
Shall in our hearts more sweetly sing

Than Love's old story.

Whatever heart may desire
Whatever fate may send
This is the tale that never will tire.
This is the song without end.

Love is the greatest thing
The oldest yet, the latest thing

I only hope that fate may bring
Love's story to you.
