About To Share Our Love

"To Share Our Love" is a 1969 song by the progressive rock band the Moody Blues. Written by the band's bassist John Lodge, it was the fifth track from their 1969 album On the Threshold of a Dream. In the original stereo release, there is an edit repeating the first two verses of the song. The quadraphonic release of the album lacks this repeat, but has the song running around the same length due to an extended coda.

Makes me feel good,
Now I can see
It takes more than one to give
The life we need.

I can't think why
I never thought of this before
Now I know what it means to share
To share my love.

Now I know why
I've found the answer for myself 
What a day it would be to share 
To share your love

Can't think
Why I never thought
Of this before, now I know 
What it means to me 
To share, share all my love with you,
To share, share all my love with you.
 
Can't think
Why I never thought 
Of this before, now I know
What it means to me
To share, share all my love with you,
To share, share all my love with you.
