I Won’t Take Less Than Your Love

How much do I owe you? said the husband to his wife
For standing beside me through the hard years of my life
Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs
Say the word and it is yours

And his wife said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the riches of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

How much do I owe you? to the mother said the son
For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young
Shall I buy expensive blankets to cast upon your bed
And a pillow for to rest your weary head

And the mother said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the comforts of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

How much do I owe you? said the man to his Lord
For giving me this day and every day that's gone before
Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice
Tell me Lord then I will pay the price

And the Lord said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

No, I won't take less than your love
