Lyrics

Love's Great Adventure

Standing on my own

It didn't mean that much to me

I thought I had it all

I didn't see the mystery

I stood the test of time

And took the step to find

Love's great adventure

I spoke a million words

They didn't mean that much to me

They rang around my head

Like empty tuneless harmony

Love's great adventure's mine!

Lying side by side

It didn't mean that much to me

I started to enjoy

The poetry and symphonies

I took it in my stride

And hailed the day I tried

Love's great adventure

A fool who couldn't see

It didn't mean that much to me

I couldn't understand

That's how the game is meant to be

Love's great adventure's mine!

My great adventure

Love's great adventure

Love's great adventure!

Standing on my own

It didn't mean that much to me

I thought I had it all

I didn't see the mystery

I stood the test of time

I took the step to find

Love's great adventure's mine!
