(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
