Lyrics

I read in the Sunday papers
What lover's tokens are
There's amulets and there's talismans
Like a ring or a lucky star
It says that half a sovereign
Is a thing they use a lot
But sixpence is the only thing I've got
Still, half a sixpence
Is better than half a penny
Is better than half a farthing
Is better than none
It's a token of
Our eternal love
When ya far away
Touch it everyday
And though that half a sixpence
Can only mean half a romance
Remember that half a romance
Is better than none
But when I'm with you
One and one make two
And likewise, two half sixpences
Joined together make one
Half a sixpence
Is better than half a (a shilling), no
Is better than half a (penny)
Is better than none
It's a token of (it's a token of)
Our eternal love (our eternal love)
When you're far away (when you're far away)
Touch it everyday
And though, that half a sixpence (yeah)
Can only mean half a romance (oh)
Remember that half a romance (well)
Is better than none
And likewise, two half sixpences
But joined together make
A token of
Eternal love
When you're far away
Touch it everyday
And though, that half a sixpence
Can only mean half a romance
Remember that half a romance
Is better than none
But when I'm with you
One and one make two
And likewise, two half sixpences
Joined together make
Two half sixpences
Joined together make one
