The Wedding Song
Petula Clark · Other Songs - Petula Clark
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on his part
The union of your spirits here has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love
There is love
Well, a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning, is now until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again
And there is love
There is love
Well, then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here, or love that gives you life?
For if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh, there is love
There is love
Well, then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here, or love that gives you life?
For if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh, there is love
There is love
