The sheet music:
Lyrics
When it comes to love, I′m just a miser
Saving every ounce and spending none
Saving for the day, where, in a hideaway
I can give it to that certain one
Chorus:
I’ve a pound of admiration
And a pound of kisses too
I′ve a ton of inspiration
And the whole darn thing’s for you
From my lips, sweet words are stealing
Meant for someone I love true
In my heart a tender feeling
And the whole darn thing’s for you
S′pos′n I told you
That you could make my dreams come true?
S’pos′n I told you?
Would it really mean a thing to you?
I’ve a home in preparation
With a room all done in blue
For a newly found relation
And the whole darn thing′s for you
