You Don't Have To

You don't have to take confession

Or let me bend your ear

You don't have to speak so gently

When you wipe away my tear

You've always been my dearest friend

In a life where friends were few

Your love you bring like all those things

That you don't have to do

You don't have to send a notion

To show me that you care

And you don't have to give emotion

When so much love is there

It's hard to find a heart so kind

In a beauty warm and true

Your love you bring like all those things

That you don't have to do
