Lyrics for Song: Poor Man's Riches
Lyrics for Album: Heartbreak Hotel - Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight [2011]
(Benny Barnes - Dee Marais)
I've traveled to the ends of the rainbow
And I've looked for that old pot of gold
But I didn't realize until I looked into your eyes
That I had a greater wealth than ever told.
Chorus:
Into each life there's many kinds of riches
There's diamonds, there's pearls and there's gold
But I'd be the richest man in this wonderful land
If I had you to have and to hold.
A true love is the greatest of all riches
A true love will never grow cold
A real love is all that really matters
For it's worth more than diamonds, pearls and gold.
Chorus:
Into each life there's many kinds of riches
There's diamonds, there's pearls and there's gold
But I'd be the richest man in this wonderful land
If I had you to have and to hold.
I'd be the richest man in this wonderful land
If I had you to have and to hold...
Moderator Note: there are several version.
One has the first verse - line two as: And I've searched for that old pot of
gold.
The chorus second line as: Well, there's diamonds, there's pearls and
there's gold.
The second time through the chorus second line as: Oh, there's diamonds,
there's pearls and there's gold.
