Lyrics
Richer Than Princes
(Anthony Marques)
Pirates go after the treasure in ships
Miners dig diamonds with shovels and picks
Stock-market buyers hope their shares will rise.
Lottery players bet cash for a prize.
Chorus But there's something I crave above all of these things,
That is more important to me.
Love has more value than what all these bring.
I'm richer than princes with you as my queen.
I was a poor man til your love found me.
Now my good fortune exceeds all my dreams.
When you gave me your heart, it was worth more than pearls
And anything else people seek in this world.
Chorus Yes there's something I crave above all of those things,
That is more important to me.
Love has more value than what all these bring.
I'm richer than princes with you as my queen.
