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... | |
it's a labour of love I offer to you. | |
Unselfishness, does that hold the space between us? | |
A helplessness, a nothing-left-to-prove? | |
A silence more eloquent than any passion? | |
It's a labour of love I offer to you... | |
It's a labour of love. | |
It's a gift of love. | |
Take this hand and you will hold its stories; | |
beat, the heart, and find the tell-tale truth; | |
take this gift: – receipt will give it value. | |
It's a labour of love I offer to you, | |
it's a labour of love. | |
It's a gift of love. |
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... | |
it' s a labour of love I offer to you. | |
Unselfishness, does that hold the space between us? | |
A helplessness, a nothinglefttoprove? | |
A silence more eloquent than any passion? | |
It' s a labour of love I offer to you... | |
It' s a labour of love. | |
It' s a gift of love. | |
Take this hand and you will hold its stories | |
beat, the heart, and find the telltale truth | |
take this gift: receipt will give it value. | |
It' s a labour of love I offer to you, | |
it' s a labour of love. | |
It' s a gift of love. |
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... | |
it' s a labour of love I offer to you. | |
Unselfishness, does that hold the space between us? | |
A helplessness, a nothinglefttoprove? | |
A silence more eloquent than any passion? | |
It' s a labour of love I offer to you... | |
It' s a labour of love. | |
It' s a gift of love. | |
Take this hand and you will hold its stories | |
beat, the heart, and find the telltale truth | |
take this gift: receipt will give it value. | |
It' s a labour of love I offer to you, | |
it' s a labour of love. | |
It' s a gift of love. |
