There's not much of value I own
No fortune, no mansion, no gold
Just a heart that's weathered and old
And a dream of not being alone
Working each day, just getting by
The world spins, I try to keep pace
But I'd trade it all for a face
To come home to, a reason why
I ain't got much, but what I do
I'd give it all just to be with you
I ain't got nothing but a smile
But it's honest, and it's true
Like a promise overdue
And I'd love to share it with you
Even if it's just for a while
I know my world is small, it's bare
But there's a place for you in there
If you'd like, if you'd dare, if you care
Even if it's just for a while
Got no lady to call my own
And I'm not sure I'm worth the chase
But I'd give you a tender space
If you'd stay instead of roam
I'm not the kind they write about
No hero in some grand romance
But if you'd give me just one chance
I'd love you without a doubt
I ain't got much, but what I do
I'd give it all just to be with you
I ain't got nothing but a smile
But it's honest, and it's true
Like a promise overdue
And I'd love to share it with you
Even if it's just for a while
I know my world is small, it's bare
But there's a place for you in there
If you'd like, if you'd dare, if you care
Even if it's just for a while
I know I'm not a perfect man
I've stumbled more than I have stood
But I'd love you the best I could
If only you'd take my hand
I may not have much, but I swear
With you, I'd give the world I know
Even if it's not much to show
I'd still be glad that you're there
I ain't got much, but what I do
I'd give it all just to be with you
I ain't got nothing but a smile
But it's honest, and it's true
Like a promise overdue
And I'd love to share it with you
Even if it's just for a while
I know my world is small, it's bare
But there's a place for you in there
If you'd like, if you'd dare, if you care
Even if it's just for a while
