Love is a mystery Chorus: Love is a ruler that all must obey. Love is a tyrant that brooks no delay. Love is a banner er nations unfurled, Love has a kingdom its name is the world. Love is the essence of life that we live. Love is the one thing that mortals must give. Love is a mixture of pleasure and pain, Love is a something you cannot explain. Written and composed by Albert Chevalier and F. Louis Schneider
