[Intro:]
You changed a beggar into a king.


[Verse 1:]
I had sunk as low as a man could go,
The world had turned me down. (Turned me down.)

But you picked me up an' you kissed me sweet,
An' you whispered, "I'll always be around."


[Bridge:]
You tore the rags from off my back,
And you placed a crown on my head.

Now, you walk beside me because,
Y'changed a beggar into a king.


[Instrumental break.]

[Verse 2:]

A begger ain't got no shoes for his feet,
No coat to keep him warm.
But your arms will hold me and keep me-hee warm,

Y'changed a beggar into a king.
You changed a beggar into a king.
