Lyrics
(Love Ain't Love Til You) Give it Away
V1
Light ain't light til it's gone from the sun
Sugar ain't sweet til it melts on your tongue
Water ain't a river til it starts to run
An Eagle ain't free til you let it go
Spring don't spring til the sun melts the snow
Every little bird, shares its song with the day
Chorus
Oh Love, oh love, oh love, (darlin') it ain't love----
Until you give it away
V2
Beauty ain't beauty til it twinkles your eye
Stars don't shoot til they burn in the sky
Wind ain't windy til the trees start to sway
Rhythm ain't rhythm til you feel the drum
A song isn't music until its been sung
But the sweetest music's when children play
Chorus
Oh Love, oh love, oh love, (darlin') it ain't love----
Until you give it away
Br:
When the sky starts to fall and makes you feel small
And you're drowning in a puddle of tears
Let your heart flow, next thing you know
Love's washed all your heartache away
Oh Love, oh love, oh love, (darlin') it ain't love----
Until you give it away
