[Verse 1]
Long ago, far away
I recall every day
At the time every thought was for the love
Might've been the city light
Three o'clock day or night
Didn't sleep, couldn't sleep
And every thought was for the love
Didn't know I would care
City sounds in the air
So alive, every thought was for the love
Will July come to pass?
Once again, raise a glass
Say a prayer, have a dance
And every thought was always for the love

[Chorus]
For the love
All the years go rushing by (For the love)
All our hopes are still the same (For thе love)
Long ago and far away (For the love)

[Verse 2]
I bеlieve all the way
Every sense habitué
By and by, every thought was for the love
Moon of gold over town
Cobblestones cooling down
Summer night, tender days
Every thought is for the love

[Chorus]
For the love
All the years go rushing by (For the love)
All our hopes are still the same (For the love)
Long ago and far away (For the love)

[Bridge]
And we live for the love
And we live for the love, yeah
And we live for the love
And we live and we live for the love
And we live for the love
And we live for the love, yeah

[Outro]
For the love
And we live for the love, yeah
For the love
And we live and we live for the love
For the love
And we live for the love, yeah
