Mike Cross - Not for the Love I Can Take lyrics



As I was out walking, one late lonely night
Looking for something like love
A beautiful lady appeared in my sight
With a loveliness dreams are made of

She looked in my eyes, and she saw through my mind
She said, "I know what you need."

Then she held my face in the palm of her hand
And whispered these words to me

I will love you completely with all that I am
And I will love you without restraint
I will love you because of the love I can give,
And not for the love I can take.

Oh, for the love I can give. And not for the love I can take.

She drew me down softly and held me so close
It was almost a dream coming true
But as we lay quietly in each other's arms
Something was missing I knew.

Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said,
"If you want all that love can be.

Then just as I've given myself up to you
So you must give yourself to me."

And I will love you completely with all that I am
I will love you without restraint
I will love you because of the love I can give,
And not for the love I can take.

Oh, for the love I can give, not for the love I can take.

I awoke with a start, in the depths of the dark
And I found it was only a dream
Then I realized, as I looked in your eyes
That you were right there beside me

And we were all linked in a loving embrace
You, and the vision, and I

And I swear by the lesson I've learned in my dream
I'll love you like this till I die.

I will love you completely with all that I am
I will love you without restraint
And I will love you because of the love I can give,
And not for the love I can take.

Oh, for the love I can give, and not for the love I can take.

I will love you because of the love I can give,
And not for the love I can take.
