SONGS : LYRICS: I WANT TO GIVE LOVE

 

I WANT TO GIVE LOVE

Words and Music by HARRY LEWIS

 

You’d think it would be easy to pretend

That ev’rything’s all right,

But sooner or later it catches up with you

In the stillness of the night.

 

I’m tired of pretending

That love doesn’t matter

‘Cause I know it can’t be true;

 

So if wanting love’s a crime,

I stand accused.

 

I WANT TO GIVE LOVE,

I want to make love,

I want to live love,

I want to start;

 

I want to feel love,

I want to touch love,

I have so much love,

Here in heart.

 

Why should I deny it?

There’s nothing left to lose

But loneliness and pain.

 

Why should I try to hide it?

What I feel is what I feel—

I’ve ev’rything to gain.

 

It’s no use pretending

I don’t want your love

‘Cause I know it can’t be true;

 

So if wanting love’s a crime,

I stand accused.

 

I WANT TO GIVE LOVE,

I want to make love,

I want to live love,

Only with you;

 

I want to feel love,

I want to touch love,

Look in my heart, love,

And know it’s true!

 

(INSTRUMENTAL)

 

I want to feel love

I want to touch love

Look in my heart, love

And know it’s true—

You’re in my heart
