Lyrics
Verse I
Millionaires and all the rich just get more money
It seems their living in the land of Milk and honey
While their busy scheming schemes to make more money
Darlin' I would rather have you
Cozy nights a fireplace is all that I'm after
Children runnin' through the house with song and laughter
Memories that last to warm your heart long after
Darlin' I would rather have your.
Verse II
People working feverishly to reach that goal
Burn the candle at both ends
Then they're old
I would rather be with you than counting gold
Darlin' I would rather have you
Sunny days and starry nights that we spend together
Time we share with those who care are so much better
Just so we can share the simple life together
Darlin' I would rather have you
I said Darlin' I would rather have you
That's Right
