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, 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 givin' 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
