I Wont Take Less Then Your Love
Tanya Tucker · Other Songs - Tanya Tucker
For standing beside me through the hard years of my life,
Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I bring you furs,
Say the word and it's yours, and the wife said,
(chorus)
I won't take less than your love, sweet love,
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 bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed
And a pillow for to rest your weary head (and the mother said)
(Chorus)
I won't take less than your love, sweet love
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 and I will pay the price, and the Lord said,
(chorus)
I won't take less than your love, sweet love,
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 Wont Take Less Then Your Love
