The Glory of Love

This is another lovely song that we sing at wedding masses, usually as the recessional hymn, just before the couple exits the church. It's called "The Glory of Love", originally sung by Bette Midler.
I love the lyrics to this song, aptly summarizing what Love is all about.

Here are the lyrics:

The Glory of Love

You've got to give a little, take a little,
and let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

As long as there's the two of us,
we've got the world and all it's charms.
And when the world is through with us,
we've got each other's arms.

You've got to win a little, lose a little,
yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

Give it a listen here:
The version here is too slow for my liking:). When we sing it, we generally speed up this version by three times!Hopefully, if I'm able to lay my hands on an older recording from one of the wedding's we've sung at, I 'll be able to upload it here for you to listen to.
In the meanwhile listen to the original here :
