Lyrics:

(Paul Overstreet/Don Schlitz)

'How much do I owe you?' said the husband to his wife,
'For standing beside me through the hard years of my life.
'Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
'Say the word and it's yours.

And his wife said: 'I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
'No, I won't take less than your love.
'All the riches of the world could never be enough,
'And I won't take less than your love.'

'How much do I owe you?' to the mother said the son.
'For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young.
'Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
'And a pillow for to rest your weary head.'

And the mother said: 'I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
'No, I won't take less than your love.
'All the comforts of the world could never be enough,
'And I won't take less than your love.'

'How much do I owe you?' said the man to his Lord.
'For giving me this day and every day that's gone before.
'Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
'Tell me Lord and I will pay the price.'

And the Lord said: 'I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
'No, I won't take less than your love.
'All the treasures of the world could never be enough,
'And I won't take less than your love.'

'I won't take less than your love, sweet love.
'No, I won't take less than your love.
'All the treasures of the world could never be enough,
'And I won't take less than your love.'

'No, I won't take less than your love.'
