They say "Love is more precious than gold" Can't be bought and it can't be sold I got love enough to spare That makes me a millionaire I got a woman with eyes that shine Down deep as a diamond mine She's my treasure so very rare She's made me a millionaire When we ride around, ride around this old town In the beat-up car, with the windows down People look at her and they look at me And say "That boy is sure living in luxury" Sweet luxury 'Cause love is more precious than gold It can't be bought, no, never could be sold I got love enough to share That makes me a millionaire When the kisses fall from everywhere Life reaches on, millionaire When the pocket's are empty and the cover is bare I still feel like a millionaire 'Cause love is more precious than gold It can't be bought, no, and it can't be sold I got love enough to spare That makes me a millionaire
