What's it all about, Alfie?
|
Is it just for the moment we live?
|
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
|
Are we meant to take more than we give
|
or are we meant to be kind?
|
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
|
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
|
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
|
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
|
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,
|
I know there's something much more,
|
something even non-believers can believe in.
|
I believe in love, Alfie.
|
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
|
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.
|
When you walk let your heart lead the way
|
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.
