Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's waiting for you, if you're here, art isn't blind
A treasure of love, is not very far
It glows like fire and it shines, like a star
It's stronger than diamonds and worth more than gold
This is a treasure that never grows old
The treasure of love is found on no chartTo find where it is just look in your heart
It's stronger than diamonds and worth more than gold
This is a treasure that never grows old
The treasure of love is found on no chart
To find where it is just look in your heart
The lyrics of Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters's song Treasure Of Love expresses the idea that love is the most valuable treasure one could ever possess. The song describes how love is not just a physical feeling, but something that can be felt deep within one's soul. The opening line, "A treasure of love, is fine, it's waiting for you" conveys the idea that love is something that is always present, and if one is ready to receive it, it will be there for them. The line "if you're here, art isn't blind" implies that finding love is not a matter of chance, but something that happens when one is truly present and open to it.
The song goes on to emphasize the value of love over material possessions with the lines "It's stronger than diamonds and worth more than gold, this is a treasure that never grows old." This is a reminder that love is not something that can be bought or sold but is priceless and grows stronger with time. The idea that the treasure of love cannot be found on any map but is within oneself, is expressed in the line "To find where it is just look in your heart". This suggests that love is something that comes from within, and that one needs to be true to oneself in order to find it.
