16.I Won't Take Less Than Your Love
作詞:Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz
'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 when 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
