What good is love?
People are always telling
Crazy stories.
What good is love?
Love can’t be explained,
It just is.
It comes from who knows where
And hits you all of a sudden.
I’ve heard it said
That love makes you suffer,
That love makes you cry.
What good is love?
What good is love?
To give us joy
With tears in our eyes;
It’s both sad and wonderful!
Yet, it’s often said
That love is disappointing,
That one out of two
Is never happy.
Even after you’ve lost it,
The love that you’ve known
Leaves a taste of honey;
Love is eternal.
All this is nice,
But when it’s all done,
All you’re left with
Is intense grief.
Everything that now
Seems to tear you apart,
Tomorrow
Will be a joyful memory!
In short, if I’ve understood,
Without love in your life,
Without its joy, its grief,
You’ve lived in vain?
For sure! Look at me!
Each time I believe in it!
And I’ll always believe in it …
That’s what’s good about love!
But you, you’re the last!
But you, you’re the first!
Before you there was nothing,
With you I’m whole.
It’s you that I’ve wanted,
It’s you that I’ve needed
You that I’ll love forever ...
That’s what’s good about love!
