Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take my love and take a chance life will never be the same
I can show you true romance be with me don't be afraid

Don't be afraid of love give your heart what it needs
Follow what you feel you won't get hurt with me
I know most people say romance ends painfully
Leave all your fears behind I'll treat you tenderly

You would be my morning star each and every day
You would be my rainbow's end come to me and stay

Don't be afraid of love give...
