How many times haveYou heard someone sayIf I had his moneyI could do things my way
But little they knowThat it's so hard to findOne rich man in tenWith a satisfied mind
Once I was waitin'In fortune and fameEverything that I dreamed forTo get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happenedI lost every dimeBut I'm richer by farWith a satisfied mind
Money can't buy backYour youth when you're oldOr a friend when you're lonelyOr a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest personIs a pauper at timesCompared to the manWith a satisfied mind
When my life has endedAnd my time has run outMy friends and my loved onesI'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certainWhen it comes my timeI'll leave this old worldWith a satisfied mind
How many times haveYou heard someone sayIf I had his moneyI could do things my way
But little they knowThat it's so hard to findOne rich man in tenWith a satisfied mind
