Christine Lavin - Ain't Love Grand lyrics

I was riding in the subway with a thousand New Yorkers Headed Downtown An old woman shoved over she made room for me To sit down A young Hispanic couple cuddled in the corner She hugged him He gave her a kiss The old woman smiled at them She leaned over to me And whispered this Ain't love grand Ain't love grand Though it's never happened to me personally Look at that Love must be grand Oh ain't love grand Almost makes me wish when I was young I had the patience to put up with a man But when I was young I had no time for them Now me, I'm always talking to strangers It's not often that they start talking first And I admit I was a little taken aback By the old woman's outburst We both got up to get out at 42nd street (You know, where you hear the dancing feet) The old woman looked at the lovers in their seat And dammed if she didn't repeat Ain't love grand Ain't love grand Though it's never happened to me personally Look at that... Look at that! Love must be grand Oh ain't love grand Almost makes me wish when I was young I had the patience to put up with a man But when I was young I had no time for them Well the train pulled out of the station Two lovers disappeared The old woman shuffled off Probably to Macy's Me I'm standing right here But for a couple of minutes Our lives connected I'm sure those two kids never suspected Their sweet affectionate display Could inspire an old woman to say Ain't love grand Ain't love grand Though it's never happened to me personally Look at that, Look at that... Take a look at that! Love must be grand Oh ain't love grand Almost makes me wish when I was young I had the patience to put up with a man But when I was young I had no time for them Oh but ain't love grand Will you look at that ain't love grand Take a look at that ain't love grand Oh ain't love ooooooh Oh ain't love grand Oh love is grand Will you look at that ain't love grand Oh ain't love....
