Ambrosia

Another day of tryin' to place
Just where your heart should belong
And just what the hell is wrong

Been born with a silver spoon
But you’d like love under the moon
Someone that you could invest in
Someone you could caress

Life is more than time and money
That's easy to spend
When you know that she's out there
You know that she’s out there
Lookin' for the girl whose eyes
Outsparkle all of your gold
And a heart that's bigger than Times Square

Poor boy wakes up with an achin' head
And someone strange in bed
Who looked just fine late at night
But not in broad daylight
Poor boy with your Midas touch
Hasn't helped your heartache much
It's time to take an account
Of what life's all about

Life is more than time and money
That's easy to spend
When you know that she’s out there
You know that she’s out there
Lookin' for the girl whose eyes
Outsparkle all of your gold
And a heart that’s bigger than Times Square

Poor rich boy, you've got to face
Another day of tryin' to place
Just where your heart should belong
And just what the hell is wrong

Poor rich boy

Life is more than time and money
That's easy to spend
When you know that she’s out there
You know that she's out there
Lookin' for the girl whose eyes
Outsparkle all of your gold
And a heart that's bigger than Times Square

Poor rich boy
Poor rich boy

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
