(PIANO INTRO)



if you want it, you can have it



'cause I know a few that's got it



and I had it once but now it's gone



if you're a dreamer you can do it



'cause there's really nothing' to it



and it doesn't have to take too long



 



you won't beat it, you won't fight it



you can't cheat it, you can't hide it in your pocket



you won't carry it home



if you're a faker you won't make it



or a taker you won't take it



in a locket where your secret's known



 



love, sweet love



love, sweet love



 



well I dreamed I drank with Jesus



and the told me all the reasons



He explained the powers of darkness and light



and he cried before a candle



as he thought of how we handle



the one feeling that just can't be denied



 



love, sweet love



love, sweet love



 



oh, take me down where the water flows



Lord, take me now



strip me of all I know



and give me love, sweet love



give me love, sweet love
