Lyrics
0:00Love And Its Glory - Minnie Riperton
0:28I'll tell you a story about love and its glory
0:45Of how when you're true to your heart
0:51You'll be free
1:03Picture a tropical paradise
1:12Folks just like you and me
1:18A young girl called Maya was loved by Aliya
1:22A young man who came from a poor family
1:26As they grew older Aliya would hold her;
1:31Together they dreamed of the day they'd marry
1:36It's a lonely world my children;
1:40You've got to do the best you can
1:44If you've find a chance to love
1:48You'd better grab it any way you can
1:54Young Maya's father decided his daughter
1:59Should marry a man with lots of money
2:02She begged and she pleaded
2:04Aliya she needed;
2:07Now Maya's crying on her wedding day
2:11It's a lonely world my children
2:16You've got to do the best you can
2:20If you've find a chance to love
2:24You'd better grab it any way you can
2:50Picture a tropical paradise
2:58Folks just like you and me
3:04Down come Aliya
3:06Him scooped up the bride from
3:08The place where she stands at the ceremony
3:12The minister backed up the father
3:15He cracked up
3:17The groom
3:18Him fell down to the ground on his knees
3:21It's a lonely world my children;
3:25You've got to do the best you can
3:30If you've found a chance to love
3:33You'd better grab it any way you can
3:40Go on Aliya Carry your bride
3:44Take her where the sky meets the sea
3:48Go on Aliya Ooh hoo hoo hoo
3:53Ooh ooh hoo hoo hoo
4:15I'll tell you a story about love and its glory
4:32Of how when you're true to your heart
4:38You'll be free
