Love is a many splendor thing

It's the April rose that only grows

in the early spring



Love is Nature's way of giving

A reason to be living

The golden crown that makes a man a king



Once, on a high and windy hill

In the morning mist two lovers kissed

and the world stood still



Then your fingers touched my silent heart

And taught it how to sing



Yes, true love's a many-splendor thing.
