Let's not forget, though trying times there are
We have not lost the war, by far
Still work to be done
And as the old hymn says,
We all can overcome
Let's not forget the sunrise in the sky
The love and wonders why
You don't do or die
But at best you try
Don't let life pass you by
Do what you do when you're feeling free
You can be what you want to be
Open your mind and you can see
Baby let's not forget this love is all we need
Kiss me once and maybe kiss me twice
Sweetens the spice of life my child
Just give me a smile
It is your big world to make it all worthwhile

Let's not forget advice on love today
I'm really not so wise this way
So what do you say
Two loving human beings
Just trying to make a way
Do what you do when you're feeling free
You can be what you want to be
Open your mind and you can see
Baby let's not forget this love is all we need
My baby my baby my baby
Do what you do, do what you do
Do what you do when you're feeling free
You can be what you want to be
Open your mind and you can see
Baby let's not forget this love is all we need
