Shouldn't There Be Lightning

Shouldn't there be lightning flashing in the sky?

Shouldn't there be thunder crashing by and by?

Shouldn't there be choirs singing high above?

That's supposed to happen if we are in love

Shouldn't there be music playing in the trees?

Shouldn't there be flowers swaying in the breeze?

Shouldn't every pigeon tell us he's a dove?

That's supposed to happen if we are in love

Shouldn't every little pool become a wishing well?

Shouldn't every auto horn become a ringing bell?

Shouldn't every tenement become a citadel?

If it's love I'm told that's how you tell

But if there can't be rainbows following behind

If there can't be rockets, darling, I won't mind

Minus all those trimmings that I'm speaking of

I'd dare them to deny that we're in love
