Lyrics
There are so many kinds of riches
And only one of them is gold
The wealth you miss, remember this
Worth while things cannot be bought or sold
Chorus
The moon belongs to ev’ryone
The best things in life are free
The stars belong to ev’ryone
They gleam there for you and me
The flowers in Spring
The robbins that sing
The sunbeams that shine
They’re yours, they’re mine
And love can come to ev’ryone
The best things in life are free
