See if you can find the missing love word in the lyrics, verses or texts below.

1. Some say love, it is a Placeholder for the answer, / An endless, aching need. / I say love, it is a flower, / And you its only seed.
2. Ask me why I send to you / This primrose, thus bepearled with dew? / I will whisper to your ears / The Placeholder for the answer of love are mixed with tears.
3. Twas the first time I dared so much / And yet she chid not; / But whispered o’er my Placeholder for the answer brow, / “Oh, do you doubt I love you now?” / Sweet soul! I did not.
4. Romeo loved Juliet; / Juliet, she felt the same. / When he put his arms around her, / He said, “Julie baby, you're my Placeholder for the answer.”
5. I’m carrying a Placeholder for the answer for you. / I’m carrying a Placeholder for the answer. / You know how much it costs / To keep carrying a Placeholder for the answer.
6. Ah my love, ah my own, / In me all that Placeholder for the answer is repeated, / In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten. / My love feeds on your love, beloved.
7. And they called it Placeholder for the answer love. / Oh, I guess they’ll never know / How a young heart really feels / And why I love her so.
8. My hands tremble, / My heart aches. / Is it you calling? / Is it you calling? / If I’m alone in this, / I don’t think I can face / The consequences of Placeholder for the answer.
9. When I was one-and-twenty / I heard a wise man say, /“Give crowns and pounds and guineas / But not your heart away; / Give pearls away and rubies / But keep your Placeholder for the answer free.”
10. I've got Placeholder for the answer you, sweetie pie. / All the day and night-time hear me sigh. / I never had the least notion / That I could fall with so much emotion.
