They took a little pinch from the jasmine bower
And mixed it with the fragrance of every other flower
And sprinkled it down with a little April shower
Said, "Let's call it love"
They took a little light from the mellowing moon
From the throat of the thrush, they took a little tune
And spread it all around, where lovers could spoon
Said, "Let's call it love"
Now, they found it was a treasure whose price they couldn't measure
So they locked it up in everybody's heart
The keys, hugs and kisses, you never know what bliss is
Until you carry off a little part
They took a little sugar and some honey from the bee
They put a light in every eye so other folks could see
They gave you just a little, but a lot of it to me
So baby, let's call it love
Now, they found it was a treasure whose price they couldn't measure
So they locked it up in everybody's heart
The keys, hugs and kisses, you never know what bliss is
Until you carry off a little part
They gave you just a little, but a lot of it to me
So baby, let's call it love
