I love to hear you chatter on about people I don't know
And I love to see your smiling face when I'm playing at a show.
I love to watch you walk away or to feel you when you're close,
And though I find it hard to say, I just want you to know
I'd give up everything for you
I'd give up health and wealth and sanity
There's nothing I wouldn't do
And though I can't expect you to believe that it's all true,
I'd give up everything for you.
I wish I had the money to take you far away.
Maybe if I'm strong enough, we'll make it there someday.
And though that place might now be only in my dreams,
If you're right here beside me, it may be closer than it seems.
I'd give up everything for you
I'd give up health and wealth and sanity
There's nothing I wouldn't do
And though I can't expect you to believe that it's all true,
I'd give up everything for you.
My happiness depends upon your joy
The only use in all my wealth
Is to buy you pretty toys
And time's a current uncontrolled by man
So take the joy I offer
While it's still within my hand...
