"You Are My Treasure" Lyrics

(Cindy Walker)

You are my treasure and my darling I possess
The world's greatest treasure the treasure of happiness
Your smiles are my pearls and the touch of your lips are so warm and rare
Your eyes are my diamonds and my gold is the gold in your hair.

Earth has its treasures of fabulous wealth untold
And who can measure the treasure the oceans hold
But wherever it be underneath the sea or the sky above
There is no treasure like the treasure of your love.

(You are my treasure)
There was a time when I thought I could find happiness in silver and gold
(The world's greatest treasure)
And I longed for fame and wordly acclaim.

And I hunger for these things filled my very soul
But then you came along and now I know I was wrong
For in your eyes I can see the greatest treasure in all the world
The treasure of your love for me.

Earth has its treasures of fabulous wealth untold
And who can measure the treasure the oceans hold
But wherever it be underneath the sea or the sky above
There is no treasure like the treasure of your love...
