I would buy you presents
But I thought that you would know
Givin' flowers and pretty things
Ain't the only way to show

My love, I don't have money
But what I have, I have for you
My love, my love
Will have to do

It shows in the things I say to you
It shows in the things I do
It shows when storm clouds break away
And a grey sky turns to blue

The river flows more softly
The grass it is more green
In love, in love
All these things I've seen

There's more to love than money
As everyone knows
Love takes a long time comin'
But when it does it shows

The river flows more softly
The grass it is more green
In love, in love
All these things I've seen
There's more to love than money
As everyone knows
Love takes a long time comin'
But when it does it shows

I would buy you presents
But I thought that you would know
Givin' flowers and pretty things
Ain't the only way to show, show, show
