You changed a beggar into a king.

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."

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.

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.
