Verse 1
If there was one prayer to say,
The only one that I could ever pray,
What would it be?
What would it be, yeah?
If I could have one thing, one that would bring
The best in life to me, what would it be?

Chorus 1
It would be love!
Yeah, it would be love!
It's the dearest prayer one can pray,
I wouldn't pass it up, no, not any day.
It would be love!
It would be love!
'Cause the sweetest song there is to be sung
Is one when a heart beats to breathe for love.

Verse 2
If I had one day to live,
And there was one gift that I could give,
What would it be?
What would it be?
Of all the things in this world, what would last in you,
And carry you through your time of need?

Chorus 2
I say it would belove!
It would be love!
A gift of value like no other,
One to be shared between each other.
It would be love!
It would be love!
'Cause the sweetest song there is to be sung
Is one when a heart beats to breathe for love.

Verse 3
If there was one word I could say,
Or only one song that I could ever play,
What would it be?
What would it be?
Of every word in speech,
There are none quite as complete
As this little word when lived & breathed.
It is love!

Chorus 3
It is love!
Yeah, it would be love!
The most tuneful song I could ever sing
Echoes with an everlasting ring.
It is love, love,
It would be love!
The sweetest song there is to be sung
Is one when a heart beats to breathe for love.

Chorus 4
It is love!
Yeah, it would be love!
The most tuneful song I could ever sing
Echoes with an everlasting ring.
It is love! Yeah!
It would be love!
The sweetest song there is to be sung
Is one when a heart beats to breathe for love.
