Love Is The Thing (05-03-33) - Ethel Waters

What does it matther if we’re rich

Or we are poor?

Fortune and fame they never endure

Oh love is the thing, love is the thing!

What good is money if your heart is all right?

Here in your arms I’m wealthy tonight

For youth has its flame

Love is the thing!

While others fight for power

We can walk among the flowers

Knowing that the best thing in life

Is a thing that is free

Love for you and me And even though our castles crumb and fall

We have the right to laugh at them all

For love is still keen

Love is the thing!
