Gary Morris - Bread and Water lyrics

rate me

(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...
