I stole my fortune long ago
Mining colour from the ground
And since indulged
In finer things its true
I've been received by royalty
Pa**ed every peer review
But I could never get
The best of you
I'd sailed the seven seas
And seen the wonders
Of the world
I've owned great works of art
And precious j**els
But at night, I toss and turn
Inside a cold and lonely room
For I could never get
The best of you
I had a map to paradise
In the comfort of your smile
Another treasure I put on display
But one wrong turn
And I miss my
Destination by a mile
The object of my search
Just slipped away
I swear to you, this day
I'd trade in every part of gold
The land and ...
I'd hand away the best of
Everything I could bestow
If I could only get
The best of you
I had a map to paradise
In the comfort of your smile
Another treasure I put on display
But one wrong turn
And I miss my
Destination by a mile
The object of my search
Just slipped away
I'll search away, the last
Remaining hours of my life
To find the shining light
Of love that's true
And sweep away the shadows
From the corners of my mind
If I can only get
The best of you
If I can only get
The best of you
