Can't Take It Away

you can take away my riches
you can take away my pearls
but no matter how hard you try
you can’t take away my world.

‘cause I got a light when the earth is dark
I got a sunbeam on a cloudy day
I got a universe cupped in my hands
and no, you can’t take it away.

steal away each one of my jewels
steal away each dollar here
it’s not worth it, not a bit
‘cause I’ve still got what I hold dear.

I’ve got what money can’t buy
it’s better than silver and gold
a familiar story I read each night
and baby, it never gets old.

don’t try to steal my universe
I’ve got it with me each day
‘cause baby as long as I have you
they can never take it away.

    That was so sweet. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for why all the material stuff didn’t matter.

    This was very adorable. I liked how your use of the word “baby” made it both personable in a sassy way and endearing.
