Lyrics
I wouldn't take a million
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.
I don't care for treasures
I don't ask for fame
Or the fortunes others may possess
You're my only treasure
You're my claim to fame
My career is here in your caress
I wouldn't take a million for a girl like you
I wouldn't take a million for the things you do
If they offered me a mansion in the finest part of town
If you're not in that mansion, then I would turn it down
I wouldn't take a million for the twinkle in your eyes
I'd rather win a smile from you than win the Nobel Prize
If I were just a pauper and I didn't have a sou
I still would have a million if I just had you
I wouldn't take a million for a Mom and Dad like you
I wouldn't take a million for the little things you do
If they offered me a mansion in the finest part of town
If you're not in that mansion, then I would turn it down
I wouldn't take a million for the moments we have known
I'd rather sit upon your knee than on a royal throne
If I could rub Aladdin's lamp to make a wish come true
I'd wish that every kid could have a Mom and Dad like you
