"My Treasure" lyrics

Ernest Tubb Lyrics

"My Treasure"

I made 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 treasure, like any man would do
But I'd set my sights much higher and I'd be sure that I had 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
