Patti Page - A Poor Man's Roses (Or A Rich Man's Gold) lyrics

Patti Page Miscellaneous A Poor Man's Roses (Or A Rich Man's Gold) I must make up my mind today; What to have, what to hold: A poor man's roses Or a rich man's gold One's as wealthy as a king in a palace Though he's callous and cold He may learn to give his heart for love Instead of buying it with gold Then the poor man's roses And the thrill when we kiss Will be memories of paradise That I'll never miss And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight Is the hand I will hold For the rose of love means more to me Than any rich man's gold Then the poor man's roses And the thrill when we kiss (when we kiss) Will be memories of paradise That I'll never miss And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight Is the hand I will hold For the rose of love means more to me Than any rich man's go-o-o-o-old Than any rich man's gold ALTERNATE ENDING FROM PATTI'S RE-RECORDING: Then the poor man's roses And the thrill when we kiss Will be memories of paradise That I'll never miss And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight Is the hand I will hold For the rose of love means more to me Than any rich man's gold Yes, the rose of love means more to me Than any rich man's gold
