|
How many times have |
|
You heard someone say |
|
If I had his money |
|
I could 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 winning |
|
In fortune and fame |
|
Everything that I dreamed for |
|
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 |
|
|
|
Money can't buy back |
|
Your youth when you're old |
|
Or a friend when you're lonely |
|
Or a love that's grown cold |
|
|
|
The wealthiest person |
|
Is a pauper at times |
|
Compared to the man |
|
With a satisfied mind |
|
|
|
When life has ended |
|
And my time has run out |
|
My friends and my loved ones |
|
Believe 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 |
|
|
|
How many times have |
|
You heard someone say |
|
If I had his money |
|
I could do things my way |
|
|
|
But little they know |
|
That it's so hard to find |
|
One rich man in ten |
|
With a satisfied mind |
