When I see some baby pigeons With their mommy in a nest I get a joyous feeling Sort of rising in my chest That's love When I see a perfect rock Or a row of paper clips A quiet kind of pleasure Sends a smile onto my lips That's love, too When I hold my little nephew And I bounce him on my knee And I'm smiling down at him And he's smiling up at me Love's a simple thing to see Why go on for hours? With oatmeal in a bowl to love Who needs hearts and flowers? And even though his silly tricks may drive us far apart I'll always have a special place for Ernie in my heart
