Artist/Band: Bill Anderson
Lyrics for Song: Love's Not Love
Lyrics for Album: Don't She Look Good [Decca] [1973]



(Glenn Martin - Ronnie Sessions)



A bell's not a bell till you ring it

A song's not a song till you sing it

I believe what the wise men say

Love's not love till you give it away.



And there's nothing like giving love to you

You're my only dream that's ever come true

The Lord made you for me to love you, love you every day

Love's not love till you give it away.



--- Instrumental ---



A kite's not a kite till you fly it

A bow's not a bow till you tie it

I believe what the wise men say

Love's not love till you give it away.



And there's nothing like giving love to you

You're my only dream that's ever come true

The Lord made you for me to love you, love you every day

Love's not love till you give it away.



Love's not love till you give it away...
