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

No song of birds upon the wing
Shall in our hearts more sweetly sing
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.
