Opening Lyrics:
My hidden treasure chest
Golden grand piano
My beautiful Castillo
You
I’d leave it all
I have achieved
It may be hard for you to
Stop and believe
You
I’d leave it all
Oh, for you
You
I’d leave it all
Why I should never make a change
And, baby, if you hold me
Then all of this will go away
