Love Rich and Love Poor

1.

 

Some are draped in kisses,

shimmering like gems

they know what happiness is.

I wish I was rich as them.

 

2.

 

Some with arms are encircled

as if with robes of gold

I pray for love's miracle;

god send me someone to hold.

 

 

Chorus:

 

Some are love rich;

some are love poor

but without love

what is life for?

 

Some are love rich;

some are love poor

but life without love

is hard to endure.

 

3.

 

Some live in loving houses

like palaces of kings

with their children and spouses.

I dream of such shining things.

 

4.

 

Some are in love’s elite

walking in loves bright sun

for them life must be sweet.

I only wish my life was done.

 

Chorus:

 

Some are love rich;

some are love poor

but without love

what is life for?

 

Some are love rich;

some are love poor

but life without love

is hard to endure.
