I’ve Got So Much to Give 👑🎶🌹

🎵Now, that I'm here, no more tears

Come here, come here

And you won't find

Things that broke your heart

And blew your mind

Not here, no, not here

And my, oh, my

Girl, can't you see, can't you see that I

I've got so much to give to you, my dear

It's gonna take a lifetime, it's gonna take years

To you my dear, I've got so much to give🎶🎶🎶
