Lyrics
When I was young
My foolish fancies used to make
A great mistake
But now a little love
A little living
Has changed my ways
And taught me and brought me
the joy of giving
REFRAIN
I can give you the starlight
Love unchanging and true
I can give you the ocean
Deep and tender devotion
I can give you the mountains
Pools of shimmering blue
Call and I shall be
All you ask of me
Music in Spring
Flowers for a King
All these I bring to you
