Mansions

Sit up There in You Mansion
It's What You've Wanted for Years
But Tell Me If You Can
Does Money and Mansions Dry Your Tears

Emeralds, Rubies and Diamonds
Are Cold and Have No Emotion
Would You Be Surprised to Know
They Can Show You No Devotion?

I Have No Money or Mansions
But I'm Richer by Far than You
Because Someone Loves Me
And I Love That Someone Too

So Take All Your Material Things 
And Snuggle Close and Tight
See How Much Love They Give
When You're Crying in the Night

I'd Rather Have Warm Arms to Hold Me
Than All the Money Anywhere
So I Hope You Find Your Dreams
In the Fancy Clothes You Wear
