   C  Dm7 G7  CM7   CM7/6
Where     is love?

   C     Dm7      G7       CM7     CM7/6
Does it fall from skies a - bove?

Dm7         C7          Bb
Is it underneath the willow tree

    G#7         Dm7     G7
That I've been dreaming of?


   C  Dm7  G7  CM7   CM7/6
Where      is  she

  C     Dm7     G7      CM7   CM7/6
Who I close my eyes to see?

Dm7         C7        Bb
Will I ever know the sweet “hello”

       G#7       Dm7   G7
That's meant for only me?


 C6          Dm7   G7     CM7    Gdim
Who can say where she may hide?

 Dm7           G7      C    A7-9
Must I travel far and wide?

Dm7        G7        CM7        Bb        A        A7
Til I am beside the someone who I can be something to?

  Dm7   G7        C
Where, where is love?


C6            Dm7   G7   CM7    Gdim
Ev'ry night I kneel and pray;

 Dm7         G7      C    A7-9
Let tomorrow be the day

Dm7             G7        CM7        Bb         A       A7
When I see the face of someone who I can mean something to --

 Dm7     G7       C
Where, where is love?
