Lyrics

Money can't buy happiness, you know that's what they say
But if I won a million, hell, I'd take it anyway
Cause I'm already happy, to have you by my side
Maybe we'd fly to London, walk through the countryside

They say we need the rain today, that may be true I suppose
But even if the flowers died, I'd have my beautiful Rose
To blossom in the summer, to blossom in the fall
A girl for all the seasons, To be a part of it all

They say the grass is always greener, on the other side
But from where I stand here, I plan on loving you
I don't care what they say

They say the sky is darkest, before the break of dawn
But when the new day's here I know I'm right where I belong
'Cuz home is where the heart is,
And my hearts beating strong
To feel it pressed against you,
When we hear our favorite song

Be careful what you wish for, this one I can't deny
When it comes to you girl you're the apple of my eye
But it takes more than wishing, to find a girl like you
It takes knowing where I'm going
And strength to always be true

They say the grass is always greener, on the other side
But from where I stand here, I plan on loving you
I don't care what they say

Now and then when things get crazy
I think of words I've said to you
