I Won't Take Less Than Your Love

«How much do I owe you?» said the husband to his wife
«For standing beside me through the hard years of my life
«Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
«Say the word and it’s yours
And his wife said: «I won’t take less than your love, sweet love
«No, I won’t take less than your love
«All the riches of the world could never be enough
«And I won’t take less than your love.»
«How much do I owe you?» to the mother said the son
«For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young
«Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
«And a pillow for to rest your weary head.»
And the mother said: «I won’t take less than your love, sweet love
«No, I won’t take less than your love
«All the comforts of the world could never be enough
«And I won’t take less than your love.»
«How much do I owe you?» said the man to his Lord
«For giving me this day and every day that’s gone before
«Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
«Tell me Lord and I will pay the price.»
And the Lord said: «I won’t take less than your love, sweet love
«No, I won’t take less than your love
«All the treasures of the world could never be enough
«And I won’t take less than your love.»
«I won’t take less than your love, sweet love
«No, I won’t take less than your love
«All the treasures of the world could never be enough
«And I won’t take less than your love.»
«No, I won’t take less than your love.»
