Don't buy me flowers,

they only wilt and fade
write me a song instead

Don't buy me diamonds,

they're always so cold
write me a song instead

Don't buy me anything fancy, my needs are simple
write me a song instead

Capture my heart with your words
sung to a haunting melody
Help me to imagine a beautiful world
with a song only about me

I have simple tastes
am not impressed with money
I see straight through to the soul,
what captures me is nothing store bought
but a song straight from the heart

Diamond rings and flashy cars are pretty, I will agree

but they can't compair, can't even come close
to words written in love

Don't buy me flowers
Don't buy me jewlery
those things don't impress me at all
But write me a song
sing my name amid words of love
and forever I'll be yours
