Before you marry, before you mend
|
Or have someone's children, long before then
|
You could find something with somebody new
|
Try the love that I'm offering in my open arms
|
Before you do
|
|
We should have quarreled, it's so unwise
|
To cut yourself loose with only some lies
|
Wasn't my first time, it won't be my last
|
Try the love that took only a minute to grow
|
It won't die that fast
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Try the love that the keeper of the key
|
Told me one time was clearly not for me
|
He's not keepin' no more
|
It's the kind when held up to a flame
|
Whispers one word, darlin' always your name
|
Of this you can be sure
|
|
I have a home now, you should come back
|
It's got so much room that I can't unpack
|
This is my wish, dear, a now spoken truth
|
Try the love that once hidden now seem so alive
|
It's waiting on you
|
|
[Bridge]
|
|
Try the love that once hidden now seem so alive
|
It's waiting on you
