Half a Sixpence

I read in the Sunday papers

What lover's tokens are

There's amulets and there's talismans

Like a ring or a lucky star

It says that half a sovereign

Is a thing they use a lot

But sixpence is the only thing I've got

Still, half a sixpence

Is better than half a penny

Is better than half a farthing

Is better than none

It's a token of

Our eternal love

When ya far away

Touch it everyday

And though that half a sixpence

Can only mean half a romance

Remember that half a romance

Is better than none

But when I'm with you

One and one make two

And likewise, two half sixpences

Joined together make one

Half a sixpence

Is better than half a (a shilling), no

Is better than half a (penny)

Is better than none

It's a token of (it's a token of)

Our eternal love (our eternal love)

When you're far away (when you're far away)

Touch it everyday

And though, that half a sixpence (yeah)

Can only mean half a romance (oh)

Remember that half a romance (well)

Is better than none

And likewise, two half sixpences

But joined together make

A token of

Eternal love

When you're far away

Touch it everyday

And though, that half a sixpence

Can only mean half a romance

Remember that half a romance

Is better than none

But when I'm with you

One and one make two

And likewise, two half sixpences

Joined together make

Two half sixpences

Joined together make one
