You Pay for Love

By Walter Egan

We take we give to share the life we live
Once two now one for all and all for one
But even love most true
Can take it's toll on you
One day the payment's due But when a heart's at stake
Lover's do chances take
And easy victims make

And I've been told
True love's not sold
But now I know
You pay for love, you pay for love,you pay for love

First glance love starts
To fill our empty hearts
So good so strong
No way it could go wrong

But when a heart's at stake
Lover's do chances take
And easy victims make

Chorus

And the price is paid in tears
Invested hours turn into years
You wonder where it went
The love that's all been spent

When part we must
We keep each other's trust
The price is paid
To keep the vows we made

For every day of fear
Each night without you near
The cost of love so dear

Chorus
