Sigh No More Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Serve God, love me and mend
This is not the end
Live unbruised, we are friends
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
[Verse 2]
Sigh no more, no more
One foot in sea, one on shore
My heart was never pure
You know me, you know me
[Bridge]
But man is a giddy thing
Oh, man is a giddy thing
Oh, man is a giddy thing
Oh, man is a giddy thing
[Chorus]
Love, it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment
A cry of my heart to see
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Serve God, love me and mend
This is not the end
Live unbruised, we are friends
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
[Verse 2]
Sigh no more, no more
One foot in sea, one on shore
My heart was never pure
You know me, you know me
[Bridge]
But man is a giddy thing
Oh, man is a giddy thing
Oh, man is a giddy thing
Oh, man is a giddy thing
[Chorus]
Love, it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment
A cry of my heart to see
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Love, it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment
A cry of my heart to see
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Love, it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment
A cry of my heart to see
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment
A cry of my heart to see
The beauty of love as it was made to be
Love, it will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you, it will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be
There is a design, an alignment
A cry of my heart to see
The beauty of love as it was made to be

#THE BEAUTY OF LOVE
This is the first song on Mumford & Sons' major-label debut of the same name. Marcus Mumford takes a break from his usual Anglican inspiration and fixes on Shakespeare’s play Much Ado About Nothing as a lyrical source.
Mumford turns Shakespeare’s words into a heartfelt apology and then adds his own anthemic chorus, driven by a pounding, palm-muted guitar, an ode to the power of love and his desire to see it realized.
A special nod to the blog It All Started With Carbon Monoxide, whose post on the lyrics was instrumental in breaking down this song.
