A mansion on a hill is a lovely sight to see   But like any other house, it's only temporary   Home is anywhere, you choose to put your heart   If there's no love inside, it'll soon fall apart      Ashes to ashes, dust into dust   Buildings will crumble, bridges will rust   Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up   And so it goes with everything but love   So it goes with everything but love   So it goes      You can drive around in a long limousine   If you don't know where you're going, it don't mean a thing   He who'd walk a mile just to hold an empty hand   Knows what it means to be a wealthy man      Ashes to ashes, dust into dust   Palaces will crumble, bridges will rust   Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up   And so it goes with everything but love   So it goes with everything but love   So it goes      Worldly treasures will all pass away   There's just one thing that's put here to stay      Ashes to ashes, dust into dust   Kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust   Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up   And so it goes with everything but love   So it goes with everything but love   So it goes with everything but love   So it goes with everything but love
