[Verse 1]
You don't remember all the things I've done;
You never catch the careful words I choose;
Your present will not admit my patient efforts...
[Chorus]
But it's a labour of love
I offer to you
[Verse 2]
Unselfishness, does that hold the space between us?
A helplessness, a nothing-left-to-prove?
A silence more eloquent than any passion?
[Chorus]
It's a labour of love
I offer to you....
It's a labour of love
It's a gift of love
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Take this hand and you will hold its stories;
Beat, the heart, and find thе tell-tale truth;
Take this gift: – rеceipt will give it value
[Chorus]
It's a labour of love
I offer to you
It's a labour of love
I offer to you
It's a labour of love
It's a gift of love
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
It's a labour of love
It's a labour of love
It's a labour of love
[Outro]
It's a labour, it's a labour of love
It's a labour, it's a labour of love
It's a labour, it's a labour of love
If it's a labour, it's a labour of love
It's a labour, it's a labour of love
If it's a labour, it's a labour of love
It's a labour, it's a labour of love
