If I could buy you a red ruby ring
I guess that's what I'd do
But all I have is a song to sing
So I'll give that to you
Take it and hold it deep inside
So the words stay new
Then when you're sad just remember me
And my love song to you
I owe you so much more
Than a lifetime of songs could say
But this song is just for you
Saying I love you in my way
Wish I could give you a country place
By a quiet stream
A little white fence
And curtains of lace
But that's just a dream
Take the dream put it on the pillows
Where I used to lay
Stretch out there beside the dream
Stay warm till the day
I owe you so much more
Than a lifetime of songs could say
But this song is just for you
Saying I love you in my way
Wish I could give you much more of myself
But I'll soon be gone
You gave me all your precious love
I give you a song
Take it and hold it deep inside
So the words stay new
Then when you're sad just remember me
And my love song to you
My love song to you
