Birds fly, they don't think twice They simply spread their wings The sun shines, it don't ask why Or what the whole thing means The same applies to you and I We never question that So good, it's just understood Ain't no conjecture Just a matter of fact [Chorus:] Love is a wonderful thing Make ya smile through the pouring rain Love is a wonderful thing I'll say it again and again Turn your world into one sweet dream Take your heart and make it sing Love, love is a wonderful thing The only thing a river knows Is runnin' to the sea And every spring when a flower grows It happens naturally The same magic when you're in my arms No logic can define Don't know why, just feels so right I only know it happens every time [Chorus] Oh when the cold wind blows I know you're gonna be there to warm me That's what keeps me goin' And our sweet love will keep on growin' [Chorus] Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing It's what makes honey taste sweet It's what makes your life complete
