But while they search, For a mate, My type hiber-nate, In bedrooms a-bove, Com-posing their songs, Of love. Verse 2: Young, uniform minds, In uniform lines, And uniform ties, Run round, With trousers on fire, And signs of de-sire, They cannot dis-guise. While I try to find words, As light as the birds, That circle a-bove, To put in my songs, Of love. Bridge 1: Fate doesn't hang, On a wrong, Or right choice, Fortune de-pends, On the tone, Of your voice. Verse 3: So sing while, You have time, Let the sun shine, Down from a-bove; And fill you, With songs of love. Solo: , , Bridge 2: Fate doesn't hang, On a wrong, Or right choice, Fortune de-pends, On the tone, Of your voice. Verse 3: So let's sing, While we still can, While the sun hangs, High up a-bove, Wonderful songs, Of lo..ove, Beautiful songs, Of love.
