Lyrics
A King Without a Queen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Riches do not come in silver and in gold
It comes in the happiness you find
I place my gold and silver before my precious queen
But now there's only memories left behind
If you never lost a loved one
Then you'll know just what I mean nkingdom
If you're a king without a queen
Now that she has gone and found another love
My castle is empty and so cold
For her leaving brought me heartaches that I have never known
And there's sadness in the treasures I now hold
