Lyrics:

The sooner you give
The sooner you get to have
A love of your own
The longer it takes
The better you come to know
A love of your own

Don't you be afraid to give your heart
You never know until you try it
Don't deny it to yourself
Don't you be afraid, to walk right on in
The door is standing open
You know I'm always hoping

The sooner you give
The sooner you get to have
A love of your own
As far as you go
You're never too far behind
A love of your own

Don't you be afraid
To shoot the moon
You'll never know until you try it
Don't deny it to yourself
Don't you be afraid, to change your tune
The offer's always open
You know I'm always hoping
You know I'm always hoping for

A love of my own
To shelter me from the cold
A love of my own
A love of my own
You're never too far behind
A love of your own

A love of your own
Gotta keep looking 'til you find it
A love of your own
A love of your own
