Analysis of If Love Was Gold
If Love was gold, then man's wealth would
Be more than any king,
Because you could not buy or sell
It like a diamond ring.
The wealth it gives would grow for those
Who had it every year,
Since interest would enlarge the love
That made the wealth appear.
That treasure that love gives to all
Can live forever more,
That's why all diamonds of the world
Cannot compete for sure.
