Love is a many splendored thing It's the April rose That only grows in the early spring Love is nature's way of giving A reason to be living The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill In the morning mist Two lovers kissed And the world stood still Then your fingers touched My silent heart and taught it how to sing Yes, true love's A many splendored thing

美国的流行歌曲经Gershwin兄弟和Irving Berlin之后,曲式基本为两段或三段式,一到两段叙述性旋律,再加一段顺口易记的咏唱乐段,把全曲推向高潮。但Love Is a Many Splendored Thing 这首歌只是一段式,而且第一个音就是全曲的最高音,直抒胸臆,唱出主题。全曲一气呵成,荡气回肠。
