Oh, when I was a little child Oh, when I was a little child
My days were happy, free and wild My days were happy, free and wild
But when in love, I couldn't say But when in love, I couldn't say
The words I wanna say today The words I wanna say today
   
Those words were always spinning in my head Those words were always spinning in my head
I used to whisper them at night in bed I used to whisper them at night in bed
And when alone, I didn't try to hide And when alone, I didn't try to hide
Those magic words I heard inside Those magic words I heard inside

Love is God, love is all around Love is God, love is all around
It's a lovely sound, lost and found It's a lovely sound, lost and found

I'm in love with the fact that the language of love is alive I'm in love with the fact that the language of love is alive
