The Sound Of Music - How Can Love Survive? lyrics

In all the famous love affairs The lovers have to struggle In garret rooms away upstairs The lovers starve and snuggle They're famous for misfortune which They seem to have no fear of While lovers who are very rich You very seldom hear of No little shack do you share with me We do not flee from a mortgagee Nary a care in the world have we How can love survive? You're fond of bonds and you own a lot I have a plane and a diesel yacht Plenty of nothing you haven't got How can love survive? No rides for us on the top of a bus In the face of the freezing breezes You reach your goals in your comfy old rolls Or in one of your Mercedeses Far, very far off the beam are we Quaint and bizarre as a team are we Two millionaires with a dream are we We're keeping romance alive Two millionaires with a dream are we We'll make our love survive No little cold water flat have we Warmed by the glow of insolvency Up to your necks in security How can love survive? How can I show what I feel for you? I cannot go out and steal for you I cannot die like Camile for you How can love survive? You millionaires with financial affairs Are too busy for simple pleasure When you are poor it is toujours l'amour For l'amour all the poor have leisure Caught in our gold plated chains are we Lost in our wealthy domains are we Trapped by our capital gains are we But we'll keep romance alive Trapped by our capital gains are we We'll make our love survive
