Lyrics
Moonlight won't ever be cold
As long as I have you to hold
And if I'm away from your side
You know that I'll miss you
From morning 'til night
Girl, I treasure each moment you're near
Treasure that good thing we share
Just one little smile is more than enough
To give me the pleasure
That comes with the treasure of love
I don't own a house on the hill
I ain't got a boat in the bay
But I know with you in my arms
I'm holding a diamond
That shines every day
Girl, I treasure each moment you're near
Treasure that good thing we share
And I'm not afraid to tell anyone
That I need your magic
To keep my love strong
Girl, I treasure each moment you're near
Treasure that good thing we share
And I'll never need no dreams in my life
'Cause you make them all come true
And now life's a pleasure
'Cause I found a treasure in you
