[Verse 1]
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

[Chorus]
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
You say you'll give me
Eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest

[Chorus]
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

[Verse 4]
You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

[Verse 5]
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

[Final Chorus]
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

[Outro]
You, all I want is
You, all I want is
You, all I want is
You

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
