Of all the loves I’ve had in my life
I’d rather have you
Whatever they were, no matter how nice
They can’t compare
Seeming wealth is nothing
I’d rather have you
Wealthy or not
We’ll always have so much to share

Cause I know that I’ll love you forever
You’re mine
I wouldn’t take riches for your love
There’s nothin’ in this world
I’d rather have than you
Just can’t stay away
I love you
I love you
Even the sun is nothin’ to me
I’d rather have you
The warmth that it gives soon would grow cold
If you were near
