You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we made
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
A treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes in a world of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/u/u2/all_i_want_is_you.html ]
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You
All I want is...you
All I want is...you
All I want is...you
You can almost hear jesus singing this to us as his children. We all promise god so much if he will just do this or that for us, but all he wants is us. He doesn't want our promises or our riches or our posessions because in reality they are just on loan to us anyway. All the promises we make from the cradle to the grave and all he wants is you!!!
