Thousand Things

I'm a young old fashioned romantic I dream of love the way it was When my father's father was young People might consider me a sentimental fool 'Cause I want to sing of love The way my mother's mother sang And I don't care how silly it may sound to you I could find a thousand things Precious pearls and diamond rings But they could never be as fine As you my very own goldmine I could do a thousand things Walk the moon and dine with kings But that could never be as fine As being with you my own goldmine When I fall in love I have to show it The only way I can At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet There's no crime if you rhyme to get a man I could love a thousand things Sing a song 'bout love that swings But that could never be as fine As you I dig this goldmine of mine
