Have You Ever Been In Love - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Have You Ever Been in Love? Copyright, 1893, by Geo. T. Worth & Co. Words and Music by Julian Holmes. 
Love is, as any one can tell, a very funny thing, It has way of catching young and old; For Cupid with his speedy shaft is ever on the wine, And aiming at the hearts of lovers bold. How dismal would this world of ours appear to you And me, Unloving and unloved to live and die; We couldn't do without the Indies, so we all agree, The joys of love we're ne'er too old to try. 
Chorus. Have you ever been in love? have you ever been in love? Or had a kiss from some sweet miss you call your "little dove?" Have you ever been in love? have you ever been in love? Oh, tell me, pray, do not say "nay," have you ever been in love? 
Love Is no new idea that will come and pass away, And then forever vanish from our sight; For love has always been the proper thing since Adam's day To fill the hearts of millions with delight. It brightens every hour we live, our sorrows it dispels, And gives us glimpses of the joys above; No wonder that the heart of every lad And lassie swells, Because you know it's nice to be in love.-Chorus.
