Subject: Lyr Add: LOVE AND MARRIAGE (S Cahn & J VanHeusen)
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Sammy Cahn / Jimmy VanHeusen
As sung by Frank Sinatra, 1955

1. Love and marriage, love and marriage,
They go together like a horse and carriage
This I'll tell you, brother:
You can't have one without the other.

2. Love and marriage, love and marriage,
It's an institute you can't disparage.
Ask the local gentry,
And they will say it's element'ry.

BRIDGE: Try, try, try to separate them; it's an illusion.
Try, try, try and you will only come to this conclusion:

3. Love and marriage, love and marriage,
They go together like a horse and carriage.
Dad was told by mother:
You can't have one,
You can't have none,
You can't have one without the other.
