“The Glory Of Love” is a song written by Billy Hill, recorded by Benny Goodman in 1936, whose version was a number one pop hit. In 1951, R&B vocal group, The Five Keys, had their biggest R&B hit with their version of the song, hitting number one on the R&B chart for four non-consecutive weeks. Paul McCartney covered it on his 2012 album “Kisses On The Bottom“.

Lyrics

You've got to give a little, take a little

And let your poor heart break a little

That's the story of,

And that's the glory of love

Now laugh a little, cry a little

Until the clouds roll by a little

That's the story of,

That's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of us

We've got the world and all its charms

And when the world is through with us

We've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little, lose a little

Yes, and always have the blues a little

‘Cause that's the story of,

Yeah, that's the glory of love

~ Solo ~

As long as there's the two of us

We've got the world and all its charms

But when the world is through with us

We've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little, lose a little

And always have the blues a little

‘Cause that's the story of,

And that's the glory of love

‘Cause that's the story of,

And that's the glory of love
