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 everything 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 you're 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
