Bread And Water lyrics

(Gary Morris - Jeffrey Rea)
Seldom do I get to tell you
this moment always slips away
Lock the door cause it's time to
turn the lights down and listen to what I say.
I'm gonna tell you what you
mean to me and when
I'm done I hope you'll see.
That they can take the romance from a lovers moon
Take the warmth from a sunrise in June, take a melody
Yet take that tune and I'd still get by
Take the magic from children's hearts take the sounds
Of laughter just leave me bread and water and you.
They can put me out on the street take my money
Take the shoes off my feet, place my head on a rock
Lay me down to sleep and I'd still get by
Take the shirt off my back if they want
Leave me naked and cold if they must
But don't take my bread and water or you.
I'd give my hopes and I'd give my dreams
If they'd have to have it all
there's just three things I need.
Take my pride, take my dignity, last of all take my memories
With what's left of me I'd say with my final breath I'd pray
For bread and water and you.
And I'd tell you what I'd do, I'd give it all and more it's true
Even bread and water for you...
