Commodores – Sweet Love (album version) lyrics

Show me a river that's so deep.
Show me a mountain so high.
I'll show you love that lasts forever
Flying high, so high.
Ah, show me a place where dreams are for dreamers
And all the things you wish come true, yeah.
I wish the world had all happy people.
Then there'd be no more wishing to do.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh.
Oooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Sweet, sweet love.

Sun shines over a rainbow
High on a hill.
Take a ride on a magic carpet
And you'll know it's for real.
The world is filled with all the lonely people
Trying to find their way.
All they need is a hand
To guide them to a brighter day.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet.
(Sweet love.) Sweet love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Well, well.
(Sweet love.) Sweet love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh.
Oooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, yeah. Sweet love.

Sweet love that comes through the ages.
Reach out and touch my soul.
Give my life so much meaning
And everyone a heart of gold.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love.
Well, well, well.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, sweet.
(Sweet love.) Sweet, sweet love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Sweet, sweet.
(Oh.) Sweet, sweet love. (Oooh.)
Oh, you needed love. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Ooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh. (Sweet love.)
Sweet, sweet love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love. Well.

I know you're searching.
I know you're searching for that love,
A little peace and understanding.
And I know it's been hard trying to find your way,
But you got to keep on searching harder day by day.
'Cause I want you and you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you and you
To stand on up, yes sir, and put a little love in your heart
And a little heart in your love.
Together we can make a way.
Huh, listen to me.
Don't ever wonder too hard, ah, of what I'm trying to say,
'Cause it's love, love's the only way.

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,) Oh, nothing but love. Love.
(Sweet love.) Sweet love. Ow.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,) When you're down and out and you can't see your way
(Sweet love.) And you need a friend. Well, ah, ah.
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,) Just call on love, love, love.
(Sweet love.) Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love.
