Tommy Scott, also known as Tommy Kilpatrick is a Scottish songwriter born in 1940. He demoed this song for Van Morrison’s group Them–who popularized it–and released his own version later that year. Scott also produced their second album, Them Again.
I can't give you more than what I've got
You can't expect to get what I have not
I can only give you lovin 'til the sun goes down
And 'til all the leaves summer turn to shades of brown
But I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything
How can I get you to understand
That after all, I am just a man
You you you you you you you are on my mind when stars appear and shadows fall
And when every little flower grows
And bluebirds call
But I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything, woah
I'll do anything you want me to do
'Cus I don't wanna know this life without you
Woah oh oh oh oh
Don't ever go and leave me in this world alone
I'd be like a little child if I was on my own
But I try and I try
But baby, you know that I
Can only give you everything
Yeah yeah yeah everything
I Can Only Give You Everything was written by Tommy Scott (Scottish musician) & Phil Coulter.
