"Sweet Love"
by the Commodores


Show me a river that's so deep
Show me a mountain so high
I'll show you love that'll last forever
Flying high, so high

 Ah, show me a place where dreams are for dreamers
And all the things you wish come true, yeah
I'd wish the world had all happy people
Then there'd be no more wishing to do

 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Sweet)
Sweet love (Sweet love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Well, well)
Sweet love (Sweet, sweet love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh?well


Sweet Sweet Love...


Sun shines over the rainbow
High on a hill
Take a ride on a magic carpet
And you know it's for real.




The world is filled with all the lonely people
Trying to find their way
All they need is a hand to guide them
To a brighter day
Oh, Sweet sweet love
Oh, well, well, sweet love
Oh, oh, ooh.
Sweet Love


Sweet love that comes through the ages
Reach out and touch my soul
Give my life so much meaning
And everyone a heart of gold


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love)
(Oh, you needed love)
(Ooh hoo)
Sweet love (Sweet, sweet love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love (Sweet love, well)



Oh, you need love
Sweet sweet love
Oh, sweet love



I know you're searchin'
I know you're searchin' for a little love
A little peace and understandin'
And I know it's been hard tryin' to find your way
But you got to keep on searchin' harder day by day



"Cause I want you,
And you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you and you
To stand on up, Yes Sir!
Put a little love in your heart..
A little heart in your love
Together can make way
Listen to me
Don't wonder too hard,
What I'm trying to say
'Cause it's love, love's the only way

(Oh, nothin' but love)
Oh oh (Sweet Love)
Sweet love (Sweet love, ow)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

When you're down and out and you can't see your way
Sweet love (And you need a friend, well-ell-ell)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Just call on love, love)
Sweet love (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love)
