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 mindOnce I was living
In fortune and fame
And everything I could dream of
To get a start in life's gameAnd suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mindNo money can buy back
Your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a heart that's grown coldAnd the world's richest man
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mindWhen my life is over
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave, there's no doubtBut there's one thing for certain
When it comes, my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mindI'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
