Not Given Lightly Lyrics

Hello my friend
It's morning, time to wake now
Your body and mine entwined will have to break now
I want your flesh, your warmth to stay beside me
Oh, how I wish you could be deep inside me

Show me your eyes, your love, most tender feeling
And I'll give you mine, be truthful and revealing

'cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
It's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

When we're alone I cannot always face you
Maybe my mood won't let these arms embrace you
That doesn't mean my love's somehow diminished
Give me the time to show our love's unfinished

Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

I need your body, your mind and your emotions
Shed me your tears till I drown in your oceans

Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
It's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

And every word I sing is true

What can I say the words destroy all meaning
There's only cliche to get across this feeling

That it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

And every word I sing's for you

Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be

This is a love song to John and Leisha's mother
This isn't easy
I might not write another

But it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's more than what it might be
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's love not given lightly

Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more than what it might be
