A BEGGAR IN LOVE
Bob Merrill

Recorded by Lee Lawrence


Verse:
Some were born for fortune, 
Some were born for fame;
But I was born to love you dear, 
If not, I'm here in vain.

Chorus:
I wander up and down love's highway,
Forever searching ev'ry byway,
For tender words you may throw my way,
I'm a Beggar in Love.

It may be wrong but I don't care, dear, 
I'll take the kisses you can spare, dear, 
And still be thankful for my share, dear,
I'm a Beggar in Love.

But like an actor on a stage,
I wouldn't trade my part.
I wouldn't want to play the King,
In someone else's heart.

For though the road I walk is lonely,
I know that heart and soul you own me!
So, please be kind to one who's only
A Beggar in Love.
