Lyrics
Richest Man in the World
He was the richest man in the world
had everything that he wanted
He found a rose carved in the pearl
was everything that he wanted
And love would be there
Love would be there
She was the richest gal in the world
had everything that she wanted
She had the love of God in her soul
was everything that she wanted
And the love would be there
The love would be there
(B)
Oh sweet sublime love you're the reason why
Souls with divine love they will never die
They were the richest pair in the world
had everything that they wanted
They had a love turned lead into gold
Twas everything that they wanted
And the love would be theirs
the love would be theirs
