[REFRAIN]

L is for the light that keeps us glowing

O is for the oceans that we cross

V is for the vibe that keeps us going

E is for the echo we don’t lose

Love is the rhythm of the evening

Love is the sparkle in the air

Love is the jazz that keeps us breathing

Love is the song we always share

[VERSE]

Step in the spotlight, feel it rising

Brass in the rafters, tapping time

Hearts in the groove, no compromising

Every beat is yours and mine

Dance through the doorway, smooth and steady

Let the melody unwind

When the band is warm and ready

Love is the tune we always find

[INTERLUDE:spoken over acoustic jazz guitar]

This is a story of the Hebrews — the last word:

From Beijing to Johannesburg, the rhythm keeps moving,

from York to Seattle, the melody keeps proving

that love is the inheritance crossing every sea.

Oceans don’t stop it, borders can’t block it,

every city adds a little shine to the pocket.

[REFRAIN: repeat]

L is for the light that keeps us glowing

O is for the oceans that we cross

V is for the vibe that keeps us going

E is for the echo we don’t lose

Love is the rhythm of the evening

Love is the sparkle in the air

Love is the jazz that keeps us breathing

Love is the song we always share

[OUTRO]

Love is the sway of midnight motion

Love is the hush before the horn

Love is the dream we place in motion

Love is the glow where songs are born

[SPOKEN CODA:

This is a story of the Hebrews — the last word.

From Beijing to Johannesburg, the rhythm keeps moving,

from York to Seattle, the melody keeps proving

that love is the inheritance crossing every sea.

And the last word —

the word we carry, the word we live —

is the one that keeps the whole world in harmony.]
