Lyrics
Verse I
Millonaires and all the rich just get more money
It seems they're livin' in the land of
Milk and Honey
While they're 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' thru the house with
Song and laughter,
Memories that last to warm your heart long after
Darlin', I would rather have you
INSTRUMENTAL
Verse 2
People workin' feverishly to reach that goal
Burn the candles at both ends and
Then they're old
I would rather be with you than countin' gold
Darlin', I would rather have you
Sunny days and starry nights that we spend together
Times 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
