Lyrics

VERSE
I can’t buy you what you’re wantin’
But I’ll give you what you need
Roof above you, floor below you
Grow a garden from a seed
I can’t shower you with silver, gold, or diamond rings
But darlin’ if you’re ready
I can love you steady

VERSE
I can’t start your heart on fire
But I’ll always keep the flame
I will tend it ever faithful
Honoring you with my name
I can’t keep you up all night
‘Til the sparrows start to call
But darlin’, if you’re ready
I can love you steady

CHORUS
I can love you steady
I can love you true
Like the daytime fades
And the evenin’ falls
And the sun bows to the moon

VERSE
I can’t be another lover
I can only be myself
Stark and plain and ever-present
Like the sugar on the shelf
I can’t be your hero or have buildings named for me
But darlin’, if you’re ready
I can love you steady

CHORUS
