Shangri-las Long Live Our Love Lyrics

[Mary:]
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast to happiness.
Long live our love.

When we were childhood sweethearts,
We had made a simple vow./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)
We vowed to love each other,
And I know we won't stop now./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)

[All:]
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast to happiness.
Long live our love.

[Mary (sung):]
Something's come between us.
And it's not another girl./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)
But a lot of people need you.
There is trouble in the world./(Ooo-ooo-ooo.)

[Mary (spoken over vocal stylings of backup singers):]
It's the fighting that has come between us,
And' it's taken you far, far away.
But please, don't wonder if I'll be faithful,
You're in my heart both night and day.
So, darling, I send my love to you, While you are fighting over seas.
And I know one day if we are lucky,
God will send you back to me.

[All (sung):]
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast [glasses clink] to happiness.
Long live our love.

[Mary (spoken over "When Johnny comes marching home
again, hooray, hoorah"):]
Please, Lord, don't let anything happen to him, please.
I'm waiting for you, Johnny, I'm waiting.

[All (sung):]
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast [glasses clink] to happiness.
Long live our love.

Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast to happiness.
Long live our love.

[Fade.]
Long live our lo-ah-ah-ove.
Long live our happiness.
Here's a toast...
