Empty Pockets Filled With Love 1962 Irving Berlin

Empty pockets but a heart full of love.
A heart full of love for you.
Cash, not any, not one red penny,
But kisses many for you.
Empty pockets but a heart beating fast
as true as the stars above.
Please say that you'll get by
with just a guy
with empty pockets filled with love.

You can't eat love
you can't drink love.
You can't wear love
like you would a gown.
I trust love
but just love won't pay for caviar,
won't buy that motor car
or a house in town.
You can't spend love,
you can't lend love,
you must end love
when the chips are down.

Love flies out the window
when there's nothing to eat,
nothing to drink,
nothing to wear
but a frown
and the chips are down.

You can't empty pockets
but a heart full of love,
a heart full of love for you.
Cash, not any, not one red penny,
but kisses many for you.

Empty pockets but a heart beating fast,
as true as the stars above.
Please say that you'll get by
with just a guy
with empty pockets filled with love.
