Golden leaves looked brown to me.
The world had lost colour without you
Shapes in the sky looked plain to my eyes.
The world had lost colour without you

I thought love was only true in fairytales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed
Dissappointment haunted all my dreams

One love, one heart,
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One love)
Hear the children crying (One heart)
Sayin', "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."

I've got the brand new doo-doo guaranteed like yoo hoo
I'm on like dr john, yea mr zu zu
I'm a newlywed, not a divorcee
And everything I do is funky like lee dorsey

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for

Ooo and it's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We got to get right back to where we started from

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
