I used to be so lonely
I used to be so blue
There was a time I thought I'd never
See love shinin' through
I could not find a spark of hope
There was darkness in the air
But now I've found someone & the clouds are gone
& I see love in the air

& I said "oh me! (oh me) oh my! (oh my)
Mercy mercy! (ooo ooo) now love is everywhere"
I said "ooo-eee" (ooo-eee) & I sighed (I sighed)
" 'Lantic ocean! Oh love is everywhere"

There was a woman that I heard of
To say of an icy bride
About a love that long ago
Had withered up & died
Then one night she was observed
By the full light of the moon
With a swing of her hips & a song on her lips
We met up in her room

She said "oh me! (oh me) oh my! (oh my)
Mercy mercy! (ooo ooo) now love is everywhere"
She said "ooo-eee" (ooo-eee) & she sighed (she sighed)
" 'Lantic ocean! Oh love is everywhere"

There was a man who lived next to me
& I swear that his heart was hard
There was no sunshine on his back porch
No flowers in his yard
He claimed that he'd looked high & low
But love could not be found
But it didn't take much, just a woman's touch
To turn his world around

& He said "oh me! (oh me) oh my! (oh my)
Mercy mercy! (ooo ooo) now love is everywhere"
I said "ooo-eee" (ooo-eee) & he sighed (he sighed)
" 'Lantic ocean! Oh love is everywhere"
