LYRICS

Fame and fortune

How empty they can be?

But when I hold you in my arms

That's a-heaven to me

Who cares for fame and fortune?

They're only passing things

But the touch of your lips on mine

Makes me feel like a king

Your kind of love

Is a treasure I hold

It's so much greater

Than silver or gold

I know that I'd have nothing

If you should go away

But to know that you love me, brings

Fame and fortune my way

But to know that you love me, brings

Fame and fortune my way
