she was his girl, he was her boyfriend

She'd be his wife, and make him her husband.

A surprise on the way any day any day

One healthy little giggling, dribbling baby boy

The wisemen came, three made their way

To shower him with love while he lay in the hay

Shower him with love, love, love

Love,love,love

Love,love was all around.

Not very much of his childhood was known

Kept his mother mary worried always out on his own

He met another mary, who for a reasonable fee,

Less than reputable was known to be

His heart was full of love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love was all around.

When jesus christ nailed to his tree

Said oh daddy-o, i can see how it all soon will be

I came to shed a little light on this darkening sea

Instead i fear i've spilled the blood of my children all around

The blood of my children all around

The blood of my children's all around.

So i'm told, so the story goes

The people he knew were less than golden-hearted

Gamblers and robbers,

Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers

Like you and me, like you and me

Rumors insisted that he soon would be

For his deveations taken into custody

By the authorities, less informed than he

Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers

Searching for love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love was all around.

Preparations were made for a celebration day

He said eat this bread but think of it as me

Drink this wine and dream it will be the blood of our children all around

The blood of our children all around

The blood of our children all around

Father up above

Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love is all around

Father up above

Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love, fill me love, love, yeah

Love, love, love

Love, love, and the blood of our children all around.
