[Verse 1]
I've been told it's just a matter of time
Before you meet someone who opens your eyes
But time's on my side so nevertheless
I know the pain of too much happiness
[Chorus]
It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
And what more would you have me do
[Verse 2]
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
And if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you, honey, you must surely realise
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes, oh
[Chorus]
It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
And what more would you have me do
[Verse 3]
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
And if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you, honey, you must surely realise
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
[Chorus]
It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
And what more would you have me do
I've been told it's just a matter of time
Before you meet someone who opens your eyes
But time's on my side so nevertheless
I know the pain of too much happiness
[Chorus]
It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
And what more would you have me do
[Verse 2]
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
And if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you, honey, you must surely realise
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes, oh
[Chorus]
It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
And what more would you have me do
[Verse 3]
Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
And if at times it seems our love won't work
I tell you, honey, you must surely realise
See all confusion in my cloudy eyes
[Chorus]
It's all part of my way of giving
And I'm giving it all to you
More than love it's a way of living
And what more would you have me do
