You Are My Treasure Lyrics - Jan Howard

You are my treasure and my darling I possess 

The world's greatest treasure the treasure of happiness 

Your smiles are my pearls and the touch of your lips are so warm and rare 

Your eyes are my diamonds and my gold is the gold in your hair 

Earth has its treasures of fabulous wealth untold 

And who can measure the treasure the oceans hold 

But wherever it be underneath the sea or the sky above 

There is no treasure like the treasure of your love 

(You are my treasure) 

There was a time when I thought I could find happiness in silver and gold 

(The world's greatest treasure) 

And I longed for fame and wordly acclaim 

And I hunger for these things filled my very soul 

But then you came along and now I know I was wrong 

For in your eyes I can see the greatest treasure in all the world 

The treasure of your love for me 

Earth has its treasures...
