lyrics

(Verse 1)
When I get a little money
I'm gonna buy a bird that sings
Of the things that I might say
When you look at me that way
I'm gonna buy us a bird that sings

(Verse 2)
When I get a little money
I'm gonna buy a fishing boat
But it's only an excuse
Just to sit and talk with you
I'm gonna buy us a fishing boat

(Chorus)
'Cause you can't buy a tender whisper
You can't sell a sad goodbye
But I can buy the things that might keep you close to me
And it's worth it just to have you by my side

(Verse 3)
When I get a little money
I'm gonna buy a wishing well
And we'll toss our pennies down
'Til our heyday comes around
I'm gonna buy us a wishing well

(Chorus)
'Cause you can't buy a tender whisper
You can't sell a sad goodbye
But I can buy the things that might keep you close to me
And it's worth it just to have you by my side

(Bridge)
When I get a little money
When I get a little more
Well give it all away building missions in your name
'Cause after all that's all that money's really for

(Chorus)
'Cause you can't buy a tender whisper
You can't sell a sad goodbye
But I can buy the things that might keep you close to me
And it's worth it just to have you by my side
When I get a little money
When I get a little money
