Thousand Things歌词

[00:00]I’m a young old-fashioned romantic
[00:07]I dream of love the way it was
[00:10]When my father's father was young
[00:04]People might consider me a sentimental fool
[00:19]’Cause I want to sing of love
[00:22]The way my mother's mother sang
[00:26]And I don't care how silly it may sound to you
[00:32]I could find a thousand things
[00:35]Precious pearls and diamond rings
[00:38]But they could never be as fine
[00:41]As you my very own goldmine
[00:44]I could do a thousand things
[00:47]Walk the moon and dine with kings
[00:50]But that could never be as fine
[00:53]As being with you my own goldmine
[00:56]When I fall in love I have to show it
[00:59]The only way I can
[01:02]At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet
[01:05]There's no crime if you rhyme to get a man
[01:08]I could love a thousand things
[01:11]Sing a song 'bout love that swings
[01:14]But that could never be as fine
[01:17]As you I dig this goldmine of mine
[01:21](Scat singing)
[02:14]I could find a thousand things
[02:17]Precious pearls and diamond rings
[02:20]But they could never be as fine
[02:23]As you my very own goldmine
[02:26]I could do a thousand things
[02:29]Walk the moon and dine with kings
[02:32]But that could never be as fine
[02:35]As being with you my own goldmine
[02:38]When I fall in love I have to show it
[02:41]The only way I can
[02:44]At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet
[02:47]There's no crime if you rhyme to get a man
[02:50]I could love a thousand things
[02:53]Sing a song 'bout love that swings
[02:56]But that could never be as fine
[02:59]As you I dig this goldmine of mine
[03:01](Scat singing)
