Love Is Where You Find It

Rick Nelson · Love and Kisses [Decca] [1965]

(R. West / J. Cooper)



Love is where you find it

On the city streets, wherever people meet, anywhere you go

When you find it you will know, woh, woh.



Love is where you find it

In a dim cafe, a secret hideaway, it can come to you

And it's just a step away, woh, woh.



And you know when you find it

Your heart will tell you that it's so, woh

And you know when you find it

That you'll never let her go.



Walkin' in the rain, love can find you

Life won't be the same, when it finds you

And when it's had it's start

You'll never want to be apart.



Love is where you find it

Maybe not today, but love will find a way, if you want it to

Love will come to you, woh, woh.



And you know when you find it

Your heart will tell you that it's so, woh

And you know when you find it

That you'll never let her go.



Love is where you find it

Maybe not today, but love will find a way, if you want it to

Love will come to you, woh, woh...
