If I could only carry a tune I'd write songs to go on tour Sentimental ones-oh how I’d croon Just so you would love me more My Dear, just so you would love me more If I could just win the Lottery There’s your Instant Retirement! Oh, what fun to hire that limousine That’s only my first requirement For when I win all those riches then I’d hire us that limousine To take us to Cruise America Pick up our brand-new Airstream We would drive North to Tallahassee Pick up supplies along the way Stop at Sam Ash for your dream guitar Then could you love me more, I pray? Just so you would love me more I’d shower you with presents galore “Can’t buy me love”, you say, my Dear You sang that song I’ve come to adore So say those words I long to hear As we drive West to see The Rockies The majesty makes your face glow What matters to me on this journey? That you love me more and say so
Inspired by my muse, a guitarist, who likes me to practice with him, occasionally, & I'm not able to carry a tune at all! I can sing 'Sixteen Tons', by Tennessee Ernie Ford, however.
