Verse:

I may be a beggar who is riding high,
I may be a beggar but I'm getting by.
I live on the future, on velvety dreams,
For you're in my future, and oh how sweet it seems, dear;

Chorus:

After all of my struggles are over,
I'll be living on velvet with you.
We'll walk on beautiful carpets of clover,
And skies will be blue.
Though our wealth may be made out of star-dust,
We'll have so many dreams coming true,
We'll be envied by people with merely a million or two,
For I'll be living on velvet with you.
