Lyrics:

If they made me a king, I'd be but a slave to you . . . If I had everything, I'd still be a slave to you . . . If I ruled the night, Stars and moon so bright, Still I'd turn for light to you! If the world to me bowed, Yet humbly I'd flee to you . . . If my friends were a crowd, I'd turn in my need to you . . . If I ruled the earth, What would life be worth, If I hadn't the right to you! [ Instrumental Break ] If I ruled the night, Stars and moon so bright, Still I'd turn for light to you . . . If the world to me bowed, Yet humbly I'd flee to you . . . If my friends were a crowd, I'd turn in my need to you . . . If I ruled the earth, What would life be worth, If I hadn't the right . . . To you! Music by Tolchard Evans, lyrics by Robert Hargreaves and Stanley J. Damerell , 1934
