What does it matter if we're rich
Or we are poor?
Fortune and fame they endure
Oh love is the thing, love is the thing!

What good is money if your heart is all right?
Here in your arms I'm wealtht tonight
For youth has its flame
Love is the thing!

While others fight for power
We can walk among the flowers
knowing that the best thing in life
Is a thing that is free
Love for you and me

And even though ours castles crumb and fall
We're right to laugh at them all
For love is still keen
Love is the thing.
