Lyrics
NOT FOR SALE
the dew on the morning grass
the wildlife in the hills
the sunshine in the morning
or the rain upon the fields
the salt that's in the ocean
the air that's in the sky
just to name a few things
oh that money cannot buy
'cause that's not for sale
no sir no deal
they've been here for so long
and they'll be here when you're gone
that's not for sale
the memory of your first kiss
the heartbreak of good-bye
the first appointment you missed
the disappointment in their eyes
or the way you feel about someone
you love with your heart and soul
you can take that with you
when it's time to just let go
and that's not for sale
no how no way
you can love your whole life long
and that'll be there when you're gone
that's not for sale
there'll be no earthly riches
when on judgement day you stand
for all that you took with you
is the love for your fellow man
and that's not for sale
no how no way
you can love your whole life long
and that'll be there when you're gone
that's not for sale
come in my child
the reward for love and truth
is when he says I remember you
and that's not for sale
so when it's time for me to go
they will not get this soul
it's not for sale
