WAR AND PEACE
(Giovanni Rota / Mariano Rapetti / Giancarlo Testoni / Wilson Stone)

as recorded by Vic Damone
with David Terry & his Orchestra
1956


A the world was right
When we met last night,
I have always love you, it seems!
And I felt the mire
Of that old desire
That you kindle in all of my dreams!

And suddenly,
The whole world changed
To a new design,
In the arms of love
Heaven and earth were mine!

Oh what empty things
Are the dreams of kings
When love's all that's worth dreaming of!
Cries of war and peace
Have their day and cease,
But we win the world when we love!

And suddenly,
The whole world changed
To a new design,
In the arms of love
Heaven and earth were mine!

Oh what empty things
Are the dreams of kings
When love's all that's worth dreaming of!
Cries of war and peace
Have their day and cease,
But we win the world when we love!
