My Treasure (false start & take 1) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

I saved a lot of money
My treasures were untold
Wait I-, I was supposed to say fortunes there

I saved a lot of money
My fortune was untold
And like a fool I idolized
My silver and my gold

My earthly treasures mounted
But when I counted through
I realized the treasure
I had overlooked, was you


My treasure, unmeasured
But forsaken of the treasures
That come from above
My treasure, unmeasured
But it don′t hold the heart
Of the one that I love

If I had my life before me
If I could see it all
I'd stake my claim on things
That are secured against downfall
I′d work for earthly treasures
Like any man would do
But I'd set my sights much higher
And I'd be sure that I had you

My treasure, my treasure
Unmeasured, unmeasured
But forsaken of the treasures
That come from above
My treasure, unmeasured
But it don′t hold the heart
Of the one that I love
