How many times Have you heard someone say If I had his money I would 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
But suddenly it happened (Oh, so suddenly) I lost every dime (Oh, so suddenly) But I'm richer by far With a satisfied mind
'Cause 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
Why, the wealthiest person Is a poor man at times Compared to the man With a satisfied mind
Don't you know you can't buy back Your youth when you're old Not a friend when you're lonely And what about that love That love you know that's grown cold
Now you take the wealthiest person He ain't nothing but a poor man at times Compared to the man With a satisfied mind
