Love Isn't Everything

Love isn't everything

Not what the poets sing

That all else but loving is vain

Love doesn't make you think

Love isn't water to drink

Love isn't everything

Love isn't slumping or shelter from cold or rain

Love isn't a rich man's gold

Nor bread when the heart has grown old

Love doesn't make your breakfast

Love doesn't change your bed

Love doesn't take the thoughts from books and put them in your head

Love isn't everything

Can't put the smell in spring

Or paint all the leaves in the fall

But for lack of love I'm dying

That's all
