Lyrics
You Don't Have To
(Verse 1)
I woke this mornin' with you by my side,
Your gentle breath, the ocean's tide.
We whispered dreams of places to go--
With you, my love, the whole world glows.
(Chorus)
You don't have to buy me diamonds or gold,
Your love's the warmth I crave when the night gets cold.
You don't have to say it every single day,
I feel it in your touch, in every way.
(Instrumental Break 8 bars)
(Verse 2)
The memories we make--laughter and song--
Every step we take, it's where I belong.
Through highs and lows, through thick and thin,
Our love's a fire that burns within.
(Bridge)
Guitar strings hum our sweet love tune,
We're dancing slow beneath the moon.
Eyes locked in a quiet bind,
Two hearts steady, souls aligned.
(Chorus)
You don't have to write me poems or prose,
Your presence says more than a thousand notes.
You don't have to be anything but true--
'Cause, darling, I'm in love with you.
(Final Chorus)
You don't have to ask or wonder why,
Each new sunrise says, you're my guy.
You don't have to try to make me see--
I love you for you. That's all you need to be.
(Outro)
As we walk through life, side by side,
With every heartbeat, with every tide...
You don't have to--but if you do--
Know I'll always, forever love you.
