written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross I know I'd go from rags to riches If you would only say you care And though my pocket may be empty I'd be a millionaire My clothes may still be torn and tattered In my heart I'd be a king Your love is all that ever mattered It's everything So open your arms and you'll open the door To all the treasure that I'm hopin' for Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more Must I forever stay a beggar Whose golden dreams will not come true? Or will I go from rags to riches? My fate is up to you So open your arms and you'll open the door To all the treasure that I'm hopin' for Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more Must I forever stay a beggar Whose golden dreams will not come true? Or will I go from rags to riches? My fate is up to you
