Only Love




Heaven sent a gift from above,
L-O-V-E, love.
love, love, love.
Only love will bridge the gap in our minds.
Only love will break us out of confines.
Love, love,
Only love,
Love, love, love.
What the world needs now is love,
Sweet love.
Only love will change the tides,
Dry our tear stained eyes.
Only love will end our fears
Help us through the trying years.
Only love,
Only love,
Only love and trust
Will build the bond between us.
Heaven sent a gift from above.
L-O-V-E, love.
Love, love, love.
Only love.

If love is to abound
The walls between us must fall
Love will break down the walls
And unite us all

From the earth to the sky
The flag of love must fly

Heaven sent a gift from above
L-O-V-E, love.
What the world needs now is love,
Sweet love.

Love, only love,
Love, love, love,
Only love.
