"I Would Buy You Presents" lyrics - PETER AND GORDON

I would buy you presents
But a thought you would know
Give him flowers and pretty things
And the only way to show
My love I don't have money
But what I have, I have for you
My love
My love
Will have to do
It shows in the things I say to you
It shows in the things I do
It shows when storm clouds break away
And the grey skies turn to blue
The river flows more softly
The grass is more green
In love
In love
All these things I've seen
There's more to love than money

As everyone knows
Love takes a long time coming
But when it does it shows
The river flows more softly
The grass is more green
In love
In love
All these things I've seen
There's more to love than money
As everyone knows
Love takes a long time coming
But when it does it shows
I would buy you presents
But a thought you would know
Give him flowers and pretty things
And the only way to show, show, show.
