Love I am told is the deepest mystery

Harder to fathom than any sea

More precious than all the earth and sky

But nobody can tell you why



Give one heart

Get back two

That's the paradox of I love you

So when you give your heart

You get one too

That's the paradox of I love you



If it is love for which you've cried

You know how it feels on moon's dark side

If your baby love's you right

You can have skyrockets any old night



Give one heart

Get back two

That's the paradox of I love you

So when you give your heart

You get one too

That's the paradox of I love you



And you can't stop saying it

I love you

Can't stop saying it

I love you

Keep on saying it saying it

I won't stop until you say it too



Love can be gentle soft and tame

Or so rough you wouldn't know its name

Shy and wild like a runaway child

Storms of love always end up mild



Give one heart

Get back two

That's the paradox of I love you

So when you give your heart

You get one too

That's the paradox of I love you



Give your heart

Get back two

That's the paradox of I love you

So when you give your heart

Get one too

That's the paradox of I love you
