What have I got of my own, my own? What have I got of my own?
The castles I build when I lie in the sand, Belong to a king in a fairy tale land. The treasures I find, when I dream in my sleep, Are gone in the dawn. Not a thjng I can keep. What have I got of my own, my o~own? What have I got of my own?
The stars all belong high in heaven above. My heart belongs to the one that I love. The rivers that flow all belong to the sea. What have I got that belongs to me? What have I got of my own, my o~own? What have I got of my own?
I hope someday before too long My heart will sing a happy song. I'm tired of being lonely, unhappy and sad. I wanna have the things that other men have. What have I got of my own, my o~own? What have I got of my own?
Solo interlude
If I could choose one thing forever to hold, I know I would never choose diamonds or gold. Just give me one true love to be mine alone, Then I'll have all the things of my own, my own. What have I got of my own?
