you say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
you say you want your story to remain untold.
all the promises we make
from the cradle to the grave
when all i want is you.
you say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
treasure, just to look upon it
all the riches in the night.
you say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
a river in a time of dryness
a harbour in the tempest.
all the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
when all i want is you.
you say you want your love to work out right
to last with me through the night.
you say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
your story to remain untold
your love not to grow cold.
all the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave
when all i want is you.
