You don't need to sneeze rubies and diamonds You don't need to cough out pearls Nor have the golden touch of King Midas To be able to spin my world
No need to vacation in China To let a few tigers loose Or fly in on a magic bus For me to notice you
You don't need to be the president Or some international spy On me all your money need not be spent For me to want you in my life
You don't have to hold onto your breath And turn the deepest shade of blue Or at my dumb jokes laugh and laugh For me to want to love you
For the common cold you don't need to find the cure Or the perfect mouse trap You don't need to bring peace to this world For me to need to hold your hand
All you need to be is yourself And to that self hold true Because all I need above all else Is to be madly in love with you
For my beautiful wife who has put up with me for 30 years this month.
