The Richest Man In The World

When I get to heaven And we'll end up outside the pearly gates But we're all walking, small talking, mingling I already know what I'm gonna say When we all trade stories Of what we did with our lives I won't say that I played music or could sing When it's my turn, I think I'll smile Say I was the, the richest man in the world Father to a baby girl And two boys that I know loved me Famous to a few good friends And beside me 'til the end With my wife, who is so lovely And I don't know who could ask any more The richest man in the world Richest man in the world I may never live in Montecito And I'll probably never own a jet The sands of time will wear down all the fame and fortune 'Til I don't have any left And I don't want some great, big funeral I don't want flowers on my grave Just play this song or have someone write this somewhere I like to let the record state Here lies the, the richest man in the world Father to a baby girl And two boys that I know loved me Was famous to a few good friends And beside me 'til the end Was my wife, who is so lovely And I don't know who could ask any more The richest man in the world The richest man in the world Mm, mm-mm You can spend your whole life wanting what you don't have But you can find the beauty in the things you do So I am the, the richest man in the world Father to a baby girl and two boys that I know love me Was famous to a few good friends And beside me 'til the end Is my wife, who is so lovely And I don't know who could ask any more No, I could not a dreamed for any more The richest man in the world The richest man in the world
