Love is a Many Splendoured Thing
Four Aces & Al Alberts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is a many splendoured thing
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendoured thing

Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still




Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendoured thing
