BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Rags To Riches

(Richard Adler and Jerry Ross)



[Originally by Tony Bennett]



I know I'd go from rages 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

But 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 every treasure I'm hoping for

Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine evermore



Must I forever be a begger

Whose golden dreams will not come true

Or will I go from rags to riches

My fate is up to you



[Musical Interlude]



Must I forever be a begger

Whose golden dreams will not come true

Or will I go from rags to riches

My fate is up to you
