I would not have you gather gold to fulfill my dreams
When the sky is full of shining stars
I could not imagine how it could be fair
For me to ask more from you
Than who you are

You could bring me lovely roses wet with joyful tears
Or the most beautiful flake of snow
To show me how much you love this life we live
Even if straight from our own garden
I would love them so

When I think of how a sunbeam glows upon your face
I see all the gold I need to fulfill my dreams
Yet what makes my night sky full of shining stars
Is when you smile in knowing
I love you as you are

I would not have you gather gold to fulfill my dreams
Or even lovely roses wet with joyful tears
I could not imagine wanting anymore
Than just to know you love me
And to have you near
