All I Can Be

I am what I am, I'm not ashamed.

I have no fortunes attached to fame.

A working man I'll probably die.

Blue collared shirt without a tie.

I can't give you riches beyond your dreams.

But I promise you I'll never scream.

Baby take my hand for who I am.

I'll love you always, it's not a sham.

I'll be there forever, until the end.

I can't buy us a mansion for all our kin.

But baby I promise only you I'll hold.

I've no diamonds to offer, nor any gold.

My love is all I have, all I can give.

Growing old, together we'll live.

A smile on your face and a kiss on your cheek,

Love so strong, it makes me weak.

I am what I am, that's all I can be,

But baby please, just love me for me.
