Lyrics
The richness of love brings its own golden creed
My darling, what treasures we hold
For when you’re in love, love is all that you need
It’s all in this story, a legend of old
Refrain
Once there was a king
Who searched for all that love could bring
He saw a lady fine and fair
And gave her gold to make her care
But she had seen a lover humbly set apart
This lover won her lonely heart
Who needs golden things
As long as love laughs at kings?
