All I Have to Offer You Is Me
Love Beyond Luxuries: Conway Twitty's Simple Elegance
Lyrics
Before you take another step
Before proceeding further
There's something you should know
Important information needs to be shared
About the years ahead and how they'll be
About the future years and their nature
You'll be living in a world where roses hardly ever grow
Life will be challenging, devoid of constant joy
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
Expressing limited resources, primarily oneself
There'll be no mansions waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
No extravagant houses or luxurious decorations
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Lack of opulent clothing
Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see
All possessions visible, nothing hidden
All I have to offer you is me
The essence of what can be provided is the speaker
Sweetheart, I'll give you all my love in every way I can
Pledging complete love in various forms
But make sure that's what you want while you're still free
Emphasizing the importance of commitment
The only gold I have for you is in this wedding band
The value offered is in the commitment represented by the wedding band
'Cause all I have to offer you is me
Reiteration of the limited offerings, primarily oneself
There'll be no mansions waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers
Repeating the absence of grand residences and luxuries
And there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear
Reiterating the simplicity in attire
Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see
Underscoring transparency in showcasing possessions
All I have to offer you is me
Summing up the modest offering, primarily oneself
All I have to offer you is me
Final affirmation of the limited but genuine offering
