Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
