It Don't Take Much

Lyrics: [Matt Kelly,] Marcus Strange
Music: [Matt Kelly,] Marcus Strange

Sung by Matthew Kelly with Kingfish for the 1998 album Sundown On The Forest. The booklet with the CD credits it to Matt Kelly and Marcus Strange but a sticker corrects this to Marcus Strange only. I think it's probably the song listed as "It Just Takes You" on some setlists.

It don't take lips
Sweeter than wine
It just takes love from up above
That learns how to shine

It don't take legs
Sculpured so fine
Knows every dance, takes every chance
Then moves down the line

It just takes heart
As big as a mountain
It just takes strength
That flows like a fountain

It just takes you and me
You and me
You and me

In this old world, where we need a song to sing
No one really knows what tomorrow will bring
Oh will bring

It just takes heart
As big as a mountain
It just takes strength
That flows like a fountain

It just takes you and me
You and me
That's right, it just takes you and me

It don't take gold
It don't take cars
It just takes your eyes, and the starry skies
And the way that you are

It don't take fame
It don't take power
Your heart beats soft against cotton cloth
You smell like a flower

It just takes heart
As big as a mountain
It just takes strength
That flows like a fountain

It just takes you and me
You and me
That's right, it just takes you and me
You and me
It just takes you and me
[etc]
