The Food of Love
If music be the food of love, play on
Nourish that love and feed our hungry heart
A loveless world would affect everyone
Romance would die and lovers they would part.
So play sweet music for true love to thrive
And give that love the food of precious sounds
For without it mankind would not survive
We must create a love that knows no bounds.
Just imagine how dark our world would be
No smiles, kisses or love just misery
For romantics t'would be a tragedy
lovers would wander life so aimlessly.
So do play on and feed that precious love
Let Cupids arrows rain down from above.
