A PLACE IN THE SUN (theme from "A Place in the Sun")
Lyrics and music by Jay Livingston, Ray Evans and Franz Waxman

Leroy Holmes Orchestra and Chorus


I've no desire to be knee-deep in treasure;
I've no desire to be rich beyond all measure.
But if you're mine to hold,
To let my arms enfold,
I'll have my share of gold
And a place in the sun.

The love you bring
Is a pearl others grope for;
A precious thing,
Everything I get to hope for.
If you'll be constantly loving me,
I'll have more wealth than anyone,
And a place in the sun.
