- There are so many kinds
of riches, And only one of them is gold,
- The wealth you miss, remember
this, Worth while things cannot be bought or sold.

- Chorus:
- The moon belongs to ev'ryone,
- The Best Things In Life
Are Free,
- The stars be long to ev'ryone
- They gleam there for you
and me.
- The flowers in Spring, The
robins that sing,
- The sunbeams that shine,
They're your's, They're mine!
- And love can come to ev'ryone,
- The Best Things In Life
Are Free.
