Recipe For Love Lyrics

by 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 that's the recipe for making love 

It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet 

It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat 

Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete 

And that's the recipe for making love 

And if you've made it right you'll know it 

It's not like anything you've made before 

And if you've made it wrong you'll know it 

'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more 

I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf 

I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf 

No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself 

And that's the recipe for making love
