(Johnny Mcrae/Bob Morrison)
|
Funny you can hold it in your hand
|
And never cause you're afraid to play
|
And you can feel your dreams
|
Softly slipping through your fingers
|
Till they're so far away
|
|
Sitting there surrounded
|
By your many life's possessions
|
Feeling so much more than all the load
|
You realized you've learned one more
|
Of living's many lessons
|
Love's worth more than all you'll ever own
|
|
What I'd give if you were here beside me
|
We could spend forever here alone
|
Oh what I'd give what would I give
|
Just that moment
|
Just everything I'll ever own
|
|
Funny when I really had it all
|
I never knew
|
Cause I just couldn't see
|
The wealth I hoped to find
|
Couldnt even hold a candle
|
To the love you gave to me
|
|
I've taken love for granted
|
And I've taken love for pleasure
|
Never taking time to understand
|
Now I know that loving you
|
Has been my greatest treasure
|
And I let it slip right through my hands
|
|
What I'd give if you were here beside me
|
We could spend forever here alone
|
Oh what I'd give what would I give
|
Just that moment
|
Just everything I'll ever own
|
