[Verse 1]
There goes an old love the keeper of my heart
It seems like a lifetime since we've been apart
Her love was a treasure a poor boy couldn't hold
She wanted riches diamonds and gold

[Refrain]
She wanted riches diamonds and gold

[Verse 2]
I taught her to love and she taught me to cry
Then I learned to smile with a tear in my eye
I offered her true love as long as I've lived
But she wanted more than a poor boy could give

[Refrain]
Yes she wanted more than a poor boy could give

[Verse 3]
She seems to be so happy in that big house on the hill
She pretends that she don't know me oh but I love her still
Without her love I've no reason left to live
She wanted more than a poor boy could give

[Refrain]
Yes she wanted more than a poor boy could give
