Gilbert O'Sullivan - I Can Give You Lyrics






There are diamonds in this world for a lady
If I had the money you'd never had enough
You don't have to understand me
When I tell you
There is only one thing I can give you
Love
He may ask to take you with him every day
And then give you presents
You've only ever dreamed of
Though I'd take you walking with me anyway
There is only one thing I can give you
Love
What's important to me
Is not the good times we'll have
But the bad times that end up so badly
For you
And so you see
What I want Is not the earth to move
What on earth it prove
But a love that will make me
A love that will take me for good
And I don't know why soldiers shoot to kill
And I don't know why at ease I get so ill
And I don't give a damn unless of course I do
So if you want to go with him just remember
What I say to you in spite of how I feel
Though he'll give you things
You've only ever dreamed of
There is only one thing I can give you
Love

    Music is such a different Thing, today :-(

    What a beautiful video, full of happiness!

  3. S.... C....

    A number of years ago I was at one of Gilbert's concerts and who was with him during the intro. but Clair. Much older of course. A real lady. I had a chance to meet her after the show along with Gilbert. It was so nice to see both of them. He sang a few bars of his song Clair and we all joined it. Such goods times...OH CLAIR!!!

  4. G.... E....

    💖💖💞💞♥️♥️

  5. R.... H....

    I remember this song when i heard it on the radio an went right out to Sam the Record man an bought it,i owned all of his records

  6. V.... W....

    Hi Clair, I've always identified (since I was not much older than you in this film) with your dad's music. It's happy but melancholy, but it's that life at its core? Best regards.

  7. B.... S....

    I remember this great song from when i was kind - love it

  8. H.... W....

    Wonder where Gilbert and Claire are now? Love this song so much and the song and sweet smile of Claire just makes my day every day I hear it!

  9. H.... W....

    Claire what a sweet little way of saying I love you to a niece! ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ it!

  10. H.... W....

    I was in love with Gilbert’s voice so inocent so lovely that touched my heart ♥️ and when I got married I played all of his music and still now in 2020

  11. j.... ....

    My grand daughter's name is Claire. When she was born and I was told her name, this song was immediately playing in my head. I posted it on my blog that same day. It will always be a rimnder of that day. <3

  12. N.... 6....

    Such a beautiful chord structure....

  13. D.... V....

    So cute love storu

  14. G.... M....

    I love Gilberts songs. Very relaxing but yet still engaging. I hope he is still making music to this day.

  15. H.... F....

    To be young again and experience the long lost emotion and feeling of safeness of your parents,

    Batiful song

    Clair.. beautiful song

  18. A.... L....

    Claro, canción maravillosa de mi juventud 🦋🌼🦋🌼🦋

  19. J.... P....

    La pureté,
    L' adolescence,
    À tous ceux que j' aime.
    1973, ma chanson préférée.

  20. C.... N....

    Its a sad sign of the times that the charming innocence of this song is misread as something sinister. I don't know who are the sadder cases; the ones who actually believe it, or the ones who are just making mischief. Never mind them anyway. If Clair reads this comment, I will be enormously privileged. What a wonderful way for her to be immortalised!

  21. N.... 6....

    Clair you are so lucky to have such a beautiful song written about you.....

  22. D.... ....

    This masterpiece has an absurdly brilliant harmonic and melodic construction, a work of genius...

  23. A.... M....

    beautiful song..beautiful man and beautiful little girl.

  35. J.... M....

    Thanks for sharing. Clair, you looked so happy and in love with your uncle Ray! It is a great video, much better than some of the raunchy stuff we see these days. Wasn't it awesome growing up in the 60s and 70s? Seeing you running around and jumping on the trampoline with Uncle Ray looking so content makes me smile. There's always something about a child's happiness that makes the world a better place!!

  36. N.... 7....

    My utmost respect for you Gilbert and Clair Thanks!!!!

  47. P.... T....

    lovely song. i think many people misunderstand Gilbert O'Sullivan. this song, and the other classic, namely Alone Again Naturally, which i think is a very spiritual song, at least to me, when Christ cried out to Heaven, why have you forsaken me? isn't that every Christian yearns once in a while?

  48. L.... E....

    Listening in 2020.

    In case recent viewers are wondering if Clair reads your comments , here`s a message she sent me a while ago you may have missed -

    " I am so touched and have happy tears reading through the comments, isnt youtube the best ?!!!
    I am deeply touched. I dont know what to say ! Except to be the inspiration for this beautiful song that has touched so many beautiful people's hearts, I am honoured, very honoured and I extend my LOVE to each and every one of you for your comments and your love. Thank you, thank you, thank you all so very much. Clair xxxxoooo "

    m.... ....

    Beautiful song I choke up when I hear this song but for different reasons life was simpler then no mobile phones back then

    m.... ....

    to Mohawk and Clair: I was a teen when this came out. I always heard it as the beautiful, innocent love that nourishes a child's heart to have a crush on an affectionate adult who is like an aunt/uncle. When I was 19 a 5 yr old boy was in love with me and wanted to marry me when he grew up. It was totally innocent and beautiful, and good for us both. I say bah humbug to everyone who finds creepiness in this sweet song! It is a particular delight to hear from the adult Clair that this love was everything I believed when I heard the song. It is on one of my Emotional Rescue playlists, and cheers me on gloomy days. Love and blessings! P.S. I was molested as a child, so I'm very sensitive to creepy predator vibes but I NEVER felt that when listening to this ballad.

    m.... ....

    For whatever reason girls think daddy is Superman.

    m.... ....

    I grew up listening to this talented genius..songwriters song writer..

    m.... ....

    This is one of my most favored childhood songs. Brilliantly composed. And great to have Clair's comment included.
