I Can't Give You Anything But Love Lyrics

Armstrong Louis
Miscellaneous
I Can't Give You Anything But Love
Love, this is your birthday;
I don't know what to do.
Can't give you a Thunderbird
Or a penthouse with a view.
Can't even buy a little present,
I'm much too broke, I find.
But there is one way I may save the day,
And I sure hope you don't mind that . . .

chorus:
I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby.
Dream a while, scheme a while,
You're sure to find
Happiness, and I guess
All those things you've always pined for.
[ Armstrong Louis Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby.
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.
'Til that lucky day, you know darn well, baby,
I can't give you anything but love.
