 Calm is the night
The wind is asleep
The drowsy old moon mopes above
Suddenly comes a Jolt
Crash goes a thunderbolt
Isn’t that just like love

Straight is your path
And firm is your step
And then at the drop of a glove
Where is South, which is North
Bang it’s July the fourth
Isn’t that just like love

Isn’t it odd to walk up to a dream
And say, “Don’t I know you”
Isn’t it weird to hear miracles talk
And say, “Well how do you do”

Clear is your mind 
And strong is your will
A mountain is simpler to shove
Then the ground falls apart
Boom goes your apple cart
Isn’t that just like love.  

(Musical Break)

Isn’t it odd to walk up to a dream
And say, “Don’t I know you”
Isn’t it weird to hear miracles talk
And say, “Well how do you do”

Clear is your mind 
And strong is your will
A mountain is simpler to shove
Then the ground falls apart
Boom goes your apple cart
Isn’t that just like love.
