Empty Pockets Filled With Love by Irving Berlin Lyrics
[1st refrain:]
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 fast as the stars above
Please say that you'll get by with just a guy
With empty pockets filled with love
[2nd REFRAIN, sung in counterpoint:]
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
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 fast as the stars above
Please say that you'll get by with just a guy
With empty pockets filled with love
[2nd REFRAIN, sung in counterpoint:]
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
