Song is Not Given Lightly by Chris Knox

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
