Here's the song text:

We've got the moon and sixpence
and dreams to make come true
We've courage to smile at our sorrows
That's riches enough for two

We've bread and cheese and kisses
That ought to see us through
A new day is ours tomorrow
That's a fortune for me and you

Rain will fall but we should care
There's always a shelter near
Rainbow will be ours to share
and skies will be sure to fair

We've got the moon and sixpence
and stars to light the blue
So long as we both have each other
That's more than enough for two
