(Pat McLaughlin)



Before you marry, before you mend

Or have someone's children, long before then

You could find something with somebody new

Try the love I'm offering in my open arms

Before you do



We should have quarreled, it's so unwise

To cut yourself loose with only some lies

Wasn't my first time, it won't be my last

Try the love that took only a minute to grow

It won't die that fast



Bridge 

Try the love that the keeper of the keys

Told me one time was clearly not for me

He's not keepin' no more

It's the kind when held up to a flame

Whispers one word, darlin' always your name

Of this you can be sure



I have a home now. you should come back

It's got so much room that I can't unpack

This is my wish, dear, a now spoken truth

Try the love that once hidden now seems so alive

It's waiting on you



Bridge



Try the love that onec hidden now seems so alive

It's waiting on you
