The Thing About Love

(album: Love Is The Same Anywhere - 1961)

It's the wanting to be with you night and day
It's the wanting to be with you come what may
It's the wanting to be with you all the way
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love

It's the wishing I could give you all you see
It's the wishing I could give you all of me
It's the wishing I could give you ecstasy
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love

It's no dream
It doesn't seem like some old romantic song
I don't need stars or swinging guitars
To help my heart along

It's the hoping that you're feeling like I do
It's the hoping that you're yearning this way too
It's the hoping that you're hoping I love you
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love

Well, it's no dream
It doesn't seem like some old romantic song
I don't need stars or swinging guitars
To help my heart along

It's the hoping that you're feeling like I do
It's the hoping that you're yearning this way too
It's the hoping that you're hoping I love you
That's the thing about love

That's the thing I've gotta thing about
That's the thing I've gotta sing about
That's the state I want to bring about
That's the date I wanna' ring about
That's the thing about love
