If we're in love 
If we're in love 
If we're in love we should make love 

Where the sun it never sets 
And where the wind forgets 
I will forget you 
Where the sky goes on for miles 
And never ties of an improbable blue 
When the supreme mysteries 
Decide to reveal all to us 
And make an endless night 
Still I will come to remember 

If we're in love we should make love 
If we're in love we should make love 
If we're in love we should make love 
When will we be lovers? 
If we're in love we should make love 
If we're in love we should make love 
If we're in love we should make love 
When will that be? 

I'm gonna forget you 
When the rivers stop and turn to run 
To where they've begun 
Back up the mountainside 
When the sun it comes to the night to play 
And like I do just sleep all day 
When the moon and the stars turn to the light 
Not in the dark of night 
But in the morning sky 
When the roses turn to bloom 
Not in June but in the bitter cold of December 

There's not a 
There's not a joy in this whole world to give 
There's not a joy 
As lovely as the bird that flew away 

Last night I 
I think I dreamt a 
Beautiful song 
But when I woke 
The birds had flown 
And it was gone 

If we're in love we should make love 
If we're in love we should make love 
If we’re in love we should make love 
When will we be lovers? 
If we're in love we should make love 
If we're in love we should make love 
If we're in love we should make love 
When will that be?
