Lyrics

I have a million blessings
A million dresses in my closet
A million dollars to deposit
And I have dry clean and pressing
Refrigerator full of good food
A CD player to change my mood

Oh, I have it all now
The shoes to match the outfit, the cell phone in my ear
But oh, I can't make the call somehow
Because all I do is think of you and wish that you were here

Chorus
I have everything that my TV. tells me I cannot live without
And I have everything that the American dreamers dream about
I don't need more stuff, I have more than enough
Oh, but what can I do?
I have everything but you

I have a car and driver
The finest furniture I sit on
The finest gardener landscapes my lawn
And I have a private river
A jewel box that's overflowing
A bank account that keeps on growing

Oh, I have it all now
More than I wanted, more than I'll ever need
But oh, I have the gall somehow
To say everything I have cannot fulfill my greatest greed

Chorus

Oh, for you I'd crawl now
Forfeit all my fortune, tumble to the clay
But oh, would you break my fall somehow?
Cuz I can't buy the words to tell you all the love I have to say

Chorus 2x
