Lyrics
[Verse 1]
More than you can carry
Further than your eyes could see
I'd be giving it all to thee
My all if I thought you could be a little bit tender
All, if I thought that you could be about to surrender
All to see, or even almost all
[Verse 2]
Broken bits of mirror and my lucky penny's turning green
Still, I'd be glad to be your all
If I thought that you could be a little bit kinder
All, if I thought that you could be
A little inclined to give your all, and all
[Verse 3]
Higher than the highest mountain
Deeper than the deep blue sea
Is how it ought to be
You were telling me, and now, I see it's so
Warmer than the summer breeze is
Greener than the evergreen is
How it ought to be for me, for you, for me
And we can make it go
[Verse 4]
May your seasons change me
May your reasons turn thy snows to green
Remembering your words to me
My all, if I thought that you could be a little bit kinder
All, if I thought that you could be
A little inclined to give your all, and all to me
My all
