Let there be love,

so I can be loved by you

in Paradise Avenue.

 

Let there be life,

so everyone lives to love.

Let it happen to me and you.

 

I am a man,

so take me for what I am.

I'll never have everything,

but let there be love.

Let there be love,

let there be love.

 

I can be nothing,

or I can be something,

I've got to give you my life.

 

I'm tired of living

without your giving.

I've got to get you for my wife.

 

Can't hold on much longer.

Feeling's getting stronger.

I never begged,

but I'm begging now.

 

Let there be love,

so I can be loved by you

in Paradise Avenue, oh yeah.

 

Let there be life,

so we can all live to love

and let it be both of us.

 

I am a man,

so take me for what I am

I'll never have everything,

but let there be love.

Let there be love,

let there be love.
