Show me a river that's so deep
Show me a mountain so high
I'll show you love that lasts forever
Flying high, so high
Ah, show me a world where dreams are for dreamers
And all the things you wish come true, yeah
I wish the world had all happy people
Then there'd be no more wishing to do

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh
Ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Sweet, sweet love

Sun shines over a rainbow
High on a hill
Take a ride on a magic carpet
And you'll know it's for real
The world is filled with all the lonely people
Trying to find their way
All they need is a hand
To guide them to a brighter day

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet
(Sweet love.) Sweet love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Well, well
(Sweet love.) Sweet love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh
Oooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, yeah. Sweet love

Sweet love that comes through the ages
Reach out and touch my soul
Give my life so much meaning
And everyone a heart of gold

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love
Well, well, well
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, sweet
(Sweet love.) Sweet, sweet love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Sweet, sweet
(Oh.) Sweet, sweet love. (Oooh.)
Oh, you needed love. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,)
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh. (Sweet love.)
Sweet, sweet love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love. Well

I know you're searching
I know you're searching for that love
A little peace and understanding
And I know it's been hard trying to find your way
But you got to keep on searching harder day by day
'Cause I want you and you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you to stand on up, yes sir, and put a little love in your heart and a little heart in your love
Together we can make a way
Huh, listen to me
Don't ever wonder too hard, ah, of what I'm trying to say
'Cause it's love. Love's the only way

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,) Oh, nothing but love. Love
(Sweet love.) Sweet love. Ow
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,) When you're down and out and you can't see your way
(Sweet love.) And you need a friend, well, ah, ah
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,) Just call on love, love, love
(Sweet love.) Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love

Commodores

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
