MY TREASURE
(Cy Coben / Bill Templeton)

as recorded by Connie Francis
with orchestra conducted by Joe Lipman
1955


All my life I have searched for a treasure of gold,
Wanted all of the money my pockets could hold!
I thought I could buy happiness, I was so blind,
For the things that I bought, they never brought peace of mind!

But I found my real treasure, I know I'm not wrong,
For I looked in my heart where it was all along!
It was then I discovered what I never could see,
That my greatest of treasures was your love for me!

But I found my real treasure, I know I'm not wrong,
For I looked in my heart where it was all along!
It was then I discovered what I never could see,
That my greatest of treasures was your love for me!
