Lyrics Give Yourself to Love - Peter, Paul and Mary

Give Yourself to Love

Kind friends all gathered 'round, there’s something I would say:
That what brings us together here has blessed us all today
Love has made a circle that holds us all inside;
Where strangers are as family, loneliness can’t hide
You must give yourself to love if love is what you’re after;
Open up your heart to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love
I’ve walked these mountains in the rain and learned to love the wind;
I’ve been up before the sunrise to watch the day begin
I always knew I’d find you, though I never did know how;
Like sunshine on a cloudy day, you stand before me now
So give yourself to love if love is what you’re after;
Open up your heart to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love
Love is born in fire;
it’s planted like a seed
Love can’t give you everything, but it gives you what you need
And love comes when you’re ready, love comes when you’re afraid;
It will be your greatest teacher, the best friend you have made
So give yourself to if love is what you’re after;
Open up your heart to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love
Give yourself to love, if love is what you’re after;
Open up your heart to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love
