Not for the Love I Can Take Songtext
von Mike Cross

As I was out walking one late,
lonely night looking for something like love.
A beautiful lady appeared at my side,
with the 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 hands and whispered these words to me.
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.
All 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 unto
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.
All for the love I can give, and 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 learned in my
dream I′ll love you like this 'til I die.
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.
All for the love I can give, and not for the love I can take.
