Lyrics

I know I'd go from rags to riches
If you would only say you care
And though my pockets may be empty
I'd be a millionaire
My clothes may still torn and tattered
But in my heart, I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever mattered
You're everything (You're everything)
So open your arms and open the door
To all the treasures that I'm hoping for
Hold me (Hold me) and kiss me (Kiss me)
And tell me you're mine ever more
Must I forever stay a beggar
Whose golden dream will not come true
Or will I go from rags to riches
My fate is up to you (My fate is up to you, ah)
Written by: Jerry Ross, Richard Adler
