Love Explained

The word love has such a glorious ring Makes us warm and fuzzy all over Seeing pretty flowers where none exist Or walking through fields of clover What a boring place this world would be If we couldn't feel the pleasures of love But could it be just our active imagination Or some hokus pokus from above? Whatever the reason, whatever the case It's the emotion that makes us tick The balance that keeps us all on track But some say it's a cheap parlor trick They say it's a fairy tale and isn't for real Just a figment of our imagination Most times we can turn it on or off And call it an innocent flirtation So here's to love, raise your glasses high For me, it's still alive and well In spite of all the nasty cynicism that exists It's survived through heaven and hell
