Lyrics

  1. Love, life and laughter
    Sat ‘neath a tree
    So the story is told
    Love was the eldest
    Of all the three
    But love refused to grow old

Refrain
Nothing lives longer than love
It lived when the old world was new
Love will remain an endless chain
When everything else is through, dear
Mountains may crumble and fall
And so may the stars from above
But you’re rich though you’re poor
As long as you’re sure
That nothing lives longer than love
Nothing lives longer than love

  1. Love’s growing younger
    Day after day
    With each love song that’s sung
    What if we’re older
    What if we’re gray
    As long as love remains young
