For your love
I'd give you everything and more and that's for sure
(For your love)
I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door

To thrill you with delight,
I'd give you diamonds bright
Make you dream of me at night
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love,
For your love
I would give the stars above
For your love,
For your love
I would give you all I could
(For your love)
(For your love)
I'd give the moon if it were mine to give
(For your love)
I'd give the stars and the sun for I live

Great song!
@BobBenham
I'm discovering the music of this great songwriter tonight -- what a treat! While I knew he wrote all these great mid-60's hits I hadn't listened to Graham's versions 'til now... and they ALL rival the hit cover versions.
@rsands9
I didn’t even know the Yardbirds version was a cover until now!

Gee so he wrote that song for the Yardbirds & our great and late Jeff Beck, almost 6 years before he created 10CC, but that I didn't know until I was watching that documentary about Jeff Beck tonigh

Grossly underrated genius...confessed himself that he lifted first three chords from House of the Rising Sun.but changed it nearly out of the bond of recognition by selecting that A minor for the fourth chord ... beautiful haunting melody
