Can you love a poor boy
Who can't give you anything
Can you love a poor boy
If love is all he has to bring
A boy whose heart would sing out faithfully
With just your heart for company
Can you love a poor boy
Who only knows the taste of tears
Can you love a poor boy
Whose dreams would only turn to fears
A boy with so much love that gratefully
He'll stand beside you faithfully
Could you settle for a walk in spring
With true love for as long as you live
A love that grows and shows itself
And little things a poor boy can give
Can you love a poor boy
Can you love a poor boy
Ooh a boy with so much love that gratefully
He'll stand beside you faithfully
Could you settle for a walk in spring
A quiet day at home when it's raining
A love that grows and shows itself
And little things a poor boy can bring
Who can't give you anything
Can you love a poor boy
If love is all he has to bring
A boy whose heart would sing out faithfully
With just your heart for company
Can you love a poor boy
Who only knows the taste of tears
Can you love a poor boy
Whose dreams would only turn to fears
A boy with so much love that gratefully
He'll stand beside you faithfully
Could you settle for a walk in spring
With true love for as long as you live
A love that grows and shows itself
And little things a poor boy can give
Can you love a poor boy
Can you love a poor boy
Ooh a boy with so much love that gratefully
He'll stand beside you faithfully
Could you settle for a walk in spring
A quiet day at home when it's raining
A love that grows and shows itself
And little things a poor boy can bring
