I once knew a boy with a golden soul
He could make a girl smile with his songs of old
His eyes, they shone, made me feel like a queen
But I let him go, he was too young for me
I don't need rubies, diamonds feel so cold
Just need him near me, with his golden soul
He sang songs of love and made the girls swoon
He could charm every star and capture the moon
He swept me away with a touch of his hand
Simply couldn't refuse when he asked me to dance
Oh I don't need rubies, diamonds feel so cold
Just need him near me, with his golden soul
We dreamed of a world, no worries in sight
Adventures with castles, pirates and knights
By now he's found another hand to hold
I can't believe I let the boy go
Oh I don't need emeralds, precious string of pearls
I don't need castles or fairy tales
I don't need rubies, diamonds feel so cold
Just need him hear me, with his golden soul.
