Lyrics of the 1958 song KINGDOM OF LOVE by Ferlin Husky Everybody smiles at you/ Because their hearts are happy too, Nobody's lonesome in the kingdom of love/ With someone to understand and someone to walk hand in hand/ Nobody is lonesome in the kingdom of love/ The days are brighter,the nights more beautiful/ Than when I walked alone/ When I found love that was the turning of the tide/ The tide will turn for you/ Find someone who loves you too, And then you'll be welcome in the kingdom of love. Kingdom of love.
