WE CAN LIVE ON LOVE
As recorded by Glenn Miller & His Orchestra, with vocalist Marion Hutton, 1939-05-25.

We haven't got a pot to cook in,*
No looking glass to look in,
But at dreams that sweet we'd seldom eat.
We can live on love.

We haven't got a bed to sleep in,
To count our little sheep in,
But our hopes are great and we can wait
While we live on love.

Though you may feel
We ought to deal
With such realities:
No house, no lot,
No car, so what?
They're trivialities.

We haven't got a check to cash in,
No pot to put our hash in,
But we've got that thing that comes in spring:
We can live on love.

[* There is a slight pause before "cook."]
