I know I'd go from rags to riches

If you would only say you care

And though my pocket may be empty

I'd be a millionaire



My clothes may still be torn and tattered

But in my heart I'd be a king

Your love is all that ever mattered

It's everything



So open your arms and you'll open the door

To ev'ry treasure that I'm hopin' for

Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more



Must I forever be a beggar

Whose golden dreams will not come true?

Or will I go from rags to riches?

My fate is up to you



Must I forever be a beggar

Whose golden dreams will not come true?

Or will I go from rags to riches?

My fate is up to you
