Give Me Your Love and I’ll Give You Mine Lyrics

Just at the close of a bright summer day
Just as the twilight had faded away
Soft on the breeze like the coo of a dove
Someone was singing an old song of love
Tell me you love me and say you'll be true
I love nobody in this world but you
Your heart and my heart in love will entwine
Give me your love and I'll give you mine
Come along with me to the quiet shady nook
Where flowers bloom at the side of a brook
Nature is sleeping, the birds are at rest
I'll place a wild rose on your beautiful breast
Tell me you love me and say you'll be true
I love nobody in this world but you
Your heart and my heart in love will entwine
Give me your love and I'll give you mine
Tell me you love me and say you'll be true
I love nobody in this world but you
Your heart and my heart in love will entwine
Give me your love and I'll give you mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
