how many times



have you heard someone say



if I had his money



I'd do things my way



but little they know



that it's so hard to find



one rich man in ten



with a satisfied mind



 



once I was living



in fortune and fame



and all that I dreamed of



to get a start in life's game



then suddenly it happened



I lost every dime



but I'm richer by far



with a satisfied mind



 



'cause money won't buy back



the youth when you're old



or a friend when you're lonely



or a hearts that's grown cold



the wealthiest person



is a pauper at times



compared to the man



with a satisfied mind
