RECIPE FOR LOVE (lyrics)
By the wonderful Harry Connick Jr

A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And thats the recipe for making love

It doesnt need sugar cause its already sweet
It doesnt need an oven cause its got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And thats the recipe for making love

And if youve made it right youll know it
Its not like anything youve made before
And if youve made it wrong youll know it
cause it wont keep you coming back for more

I didnt get it from my grandmas book upon the shelf
I didnt get it from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me you cant make it by yourself
And thats the recipe for making love

•RECIPE FOR KINDNESS

•Fold two hands together,
•And express a dash of sorrow,
•Marinate it overnight,
•And work on it tomorrow.

•Chop one grudge in tiny pieces,
•Add several cups of love,
•Dredge with a large sized smile,
•And mix the ingredients above.

•Dissolve the anger within you,
•By doing a very good deed,
•Dash in some help for any friend,
•If they should be in need.

•Stir in laughter, love and kindness,
•From the heart it has to come,
•Mix with genuine forgiveness,
•And give your neighbour some.

•The amount of people you can serve,
•From the recipe above,
•Is in the quality of its ingredients,
•And unlimited amounts of love.

•This recipe's for the whole wide world,
•For everyone to make,
•Just get it all together,
•And cook for God's own sake!
