PRIZE OF GOLD, THE
Ned Washington / Lester Lee  1954

as rec by Joan Regan  1954

also rec by Ronnie Hilton  1955


Why do people crave for fortune,
Everything their eyes behold?
What's the good of fame and fortune?
Love is the prize of gold!

If you have the stars above you,
You're the heir to wealth untold;
If you have someone to love you,
This is the prize of gold!

Without romance the world would be
A world without any charm;
While I have you and you have me,
We hold the world in our arms!

You have to have a heart to sing to
After all your dreams grow old;
If we have our love to cling to,
We have the prize of gold!

Without romance the world would be
A world without any charm;
While I have you and you have me,
We hold the world in our arms!

You have to have a heart to sing to
After all your dreams grow old;
If we have our love to cling to,
We have the prize of gold!
