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
