Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the glory of true love
Is a wild and precious thing
It don't grow on old magnolias
Or only blossom in the spring
[Verse 2]
No, the glory of true love
Is it will last your whole life through
Never will go out of fashion
Always will look good on you
[Verse 3]
You can climb the highest mountain
Touch the moon and stars above
But old faithful's just a fountain
Compared to the glory of true love
[Verse 4]
Long before I met you, darlin'
Lord, I thought I had it all
I could have my lunch in London
And my dinner in St. Paul
[Verse 5]
I got some friends in Albuquerque
Where the governor calls me "Gov"
You can give 'em all to Goodwill
For the glory of true love
[Verse 6]
You can climb the highest mountain
Touch the moon and stars above
But Old Faithful's just a fountain
Compared to the glory of true love
[Verse 7]
Glory, glory, glory, glory
You can't never get enough
Time alone will tell the story
Of the glory of true love
[Verse 8]
Glory, glory, glory, glory
You can't never get enough
Time alone will tell the story
Of the glory of true love
