I've got a pocket full of pennies the heart full of gold Though my troubles are many I have treasures untold And the shack that I live in is a palace to me For the treasure of love the treasure of love you gave to me In this world there are riches that money can't buy Like the treasure of true love a love that won't die So why should I worry what tomorrow will bring For the treasure of love the treasure of love makes me a king Though my clothes are all tattered and I've seen better days Know it really don't matter for I'm rich another way Yes my pockets are empty but still wealthy I'll be With the treasure of love the treasure of love you gave to me
