Everybody Ought to Be in Love

Everybody ought to be in love with you:
Heart over heels, smitten without a cure,
Lost in the wonder of a love that will endure.
Everybody ought to be in love with you.

If love is a faith road, why do we wander?
If love wants to lead us home, why do we stray?
Oh, the depths of the riches we would ponder
If we were to choose love's ever-blessed way.

Everybody ought to be in love with you:
Heart over heels, smitten without a cure,
Lost in the wonder of a love that will endure.
Everybody ought to be in love with you.

If love is a highland, why do we linger
Deep in the shadowlands of uncertainty?
If love is the song of a glorious singer,
Why do we run away from the melody?

Far above the helpless restlessness
Of a world where hope gives way to despair,
There's a realm of restful blessedness
Where we can go and cast our every care.

[instrumental interlude]

Everybody ought to be in love with you:
Heart over heels, smitten without a cure,
Lost in the wonder of a love that will endure.
Everybody ought to be in love with you.

Everybody ought to be in love with you.
Everybody ought to be in love with you.
Everybody ought to be in love with you.
