How many times

Have you heard someone say

If I had his money

I'd do things my way

How little they know

That it's so hard to find

One rich man in a hundred

With a satisfied mind



Once I was living

In fortune and fame

And everthing I could dream of

To get a start in life's game

And suddenly it happened

I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far

With a satisfied mind



No money can buy back

Your youth when your old

Or a friend when you're lonely

Or a heart that's grown cold

And the world's richest man

Is a pauper at times

Compared to the man

With a satisfied mind



When my life is over

And my time has run out

My friends and my loved ones

I'll leave there's no doubt

But there's one thing for certain

When it comes my time

I'll leave this old world

With a satisfied mind

I'll leave this old world

With a satisfied mind
