Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- Whether you’re twenty and starting in life
Whether to thirty you’ve grown
Whether to forty a husband or wife
Whether you’re fifty, a Darby or Joan
There’s one thing certain that you’ll have to own
Chorus
Love is the sweetest thing
What else on earth could ever bring
Such happiness to ev’rything
As Love’s old story
Love is the strangest thing
No song of birds upon the wing
Shall in our hearts more sweetly sing
Than Love’s old story
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
- Whether you’ve gone after worldly success
Making your place in the sun
Whether your income’s a million or less
Just when you think all the prizes you’ve won
You’ll wake to lear after all’s said and done
Sung here by Fred Feild:
