Sixteen Pennies

16 pennies to my name

But it all belongs to you

I’ll give you the shirt right off my back

I’m doing things I never thought I’d do

Just because it’s you

It’s like I’ve woken from a dream

To find things fresh and clear

Suddenly I know everything

And what I don’t doesn’t matter

This is the new me

Since you walked into my life

Love does funny things to a person

It’s weird how I smile so often without tire

And did the birds always sing so beautifully

Was the sun always filled with this warmth

I forgot my life before you

I don’t want to remember my past

You’re all that matters now

16 pennies to my name

And I’m letting you have it all

You stole my heart

But I don’t mind

Keep it as I long to have yours

Love is what I offer

I haven’t got much else

Love is what I offer

You can’t leave me here long

Tell me if it’s enough for your heart

That’s all I ever want
