Lyrics
The Love You Give Away
©2000 Robert Heath and Dottie Moore
verse
I/gave you everything
Except for my heart
I held it back
Afraid from the start
You patiently waited
Knowing I?d learned one day
The only love that you keep
Is the love you give away
chorus
I lay my heart on the line
With total honesty
It/always belonged to you
And now at last I see
That in the end we lose
If we only take
(And) The only love you keep
Is the love you give away
verse
Oh I can?t imagine
My/life without you
You?re the best part
Of all that I do
Only could have been better
If I?d known yesterday
The only love that you keep
Is the love you give away
repeat chorus
bridge
You made me realize
What our love can be
So/from this moment on
repeat chorus
