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 need 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.
