Love Before You Leap

[Verse 1]
Patience is a virtue, but waiting can be hard
When it comes to young love, full of passion and desire
The children playing on a cliff, so much danger lies beyond
Their innocence is precious
One careless moment and it's gone

[Chorus]
You've got to love before you leap (Before you leap)
You've got to learn how to care to play for keeps (You)
Young hearts are fragile, and they break so easily
Please love before you leave

[Verse 2]
The jagged edge of broken hearts wounds long after the touch
So give yourself the time to know a love that's strong enough
That tears can't wash away the joy is so hard to believe
Other voices call out, trying to drown the one that pleads

[Chorus]
You've got to love before you leap (Before you leap)
You've got to learn how to care to play for keeps (Ooh)
Young hearts are fragile, and they break so easily
Please love before you leave

[Outro]
In this world of temptation can be great
But a love that's true is worth the wait
You've got to love before you leap
You've got to learn how to care to play for keeps
Young hearts are fragile, and they break so easily
Please love (Please love) before you leave
Please love (Please love) before you leave
