Half a Sixpence Songtext
von Tommy Steele

I read in the Sunday papers what lovers′ 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 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 one
