Nanci Griffith - Try The Love lyrics

(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
