He was sitting on a corner with a bottle of beer  And the same shopping cart he'd been pushing for years  A big smile on his face  Like the first day of spring  All the people looked the other way, but they heard him sing  And he sang    "Love  Love is a sweet thing"  He sang "love  Love is a sweet thing"    She shot out of Texas  Like a bullet from a gun  With a van full of hippies and a band on the run  She didn't want to be famous  She just wanted to play  In old dive bars and pool halls she got up on stage  And she sang    "Love  Love is a sweet thing  Oh yes it is"  She sang "love  Love is a sweet, sweet thing"    It's everywhere you look  If you look hard enough  Its really not hard to see  Yeah, once you put your arms around it  You can never get too much  Love is a sweet, sweet thing    It's in the smile of a stranger  In the eyes of a child  On the corner of a crowded street  Its everywhere around us  Its always growing wild  Love is a sweet, sweet thing    Love  Love is a sweet thing  I sang "love, love, love  Love is a sweet thing  Love  Love is a sweet thing  Oh yes it is"    I sang "love, love, love  Love is a sweet, sweet thing  Oh, baby  Love  Love is a sweet thing"  I sang "love  Love is a sweet, sweet thing"
