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
