Carmen McRae

Love is funny or it's sad
It's quiet or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But not, but not beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinking
I wouldn't mind at all

Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache anyway
Anyway but, but, but, but also beautiful, beautiful

And I'm thinking, if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be, that would be
But beautiful, but beautiful I know, I know

Who can say what love is?
Does it start in the mind or the heart
When I hear discussions on what love is
Everybody speaks a different part

Love is tearful or it's gay
It's, it's a problem, a problem or it's play
You can believe that it's a heartache everyday, but, but
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

And I'm thinking, if you were mine
I'd never let you go, I'd never let you go
And that would be, and that would be so beautiful, so beautiful
Yes, That would be, that would be, oh so, beautiful, beautiful
That I'd never let you go, go
