I had sunk as low as a man could go

The world had turned me down

Then you picked me up 

And you kissed me sweet

You changed a beggar into a king.



Yes, you took the rags from off of my back

And you gave me your love to keep me warm

Yes, you picked me up and you kissed me sweet

And changed a beggar into a king.

I had walked the streets 

With my head bowed low

The sun for me would never shine

Then you came along into my life

And changed a beggar into a king.

Yes, you took the rags from off of my back

And you placed the crown on my head

Yes, you picked me up and kissed me sweet

You changed a beggar into a king.



You changed a beggar into a king...
