What Good Is Love?

(album: Pins And Needles - 1962)

Everywhere I go I hear sweet songs about the moon
Songs about the stars above and songs of love in June
Songs of hearts that beat as one to some sweet lovers' tune
But they're not songs that sing for me

Songs about the dreams that lie within a lover's eyes
Songs about the cloudless sky in lovers' paradise
Songs about the joys of love and lovers' lullabies
But there not songs that sing for me

What good is love if you have to face
Cold hungry days and sighing?
What good is love if life's just a race
To keep your heart from crying?

Let the poets sing of skies above
And endless love and hearts that dance
Where is my chance for the call of romance?

What good is love if you haven't got
All that makes life worth living?
What good is love if you haven't got
Even a thing worth giving?

You can keep your little songs that sing
Of all the joy that love can bring
What good's romance?
What good is love, to me?

You can keep your little songs that sing
Of all the joy that love can bring
What good's romance?
What good is love, to me?
