Some Things Money Just Can't Buy

well
see the pure display of unalloyed delight
when a child is learning how to fly a kite
when you see that smile come glinting in its eye
there are some things money just can't buy

sunlight on the surface of a mirrored lake
and the crystal beauty of every individual snowflake
never once repeated, don't it make you cry
there are some things money just can't buy

well just look around
hear the sound
stop and stare
breathe fresh air

there's so many free things, you don't need to spend,
a bell ring, surprise surprise
an unexpected visit from a friend
who inquires how are you - just thought I'd drop by
there are some things money just can't buy

well sweet nightingale
not for sale
caring thought
can't be bought

little things around you charm and gratify
like the veined transparent wings
that beautify and grace the dragonfly
and the cloudy patterns in a mackerel sky
there are some things money just can't buy

oh yeah
there are some things money just can't buy
oh yeah
some things money just can't buy
