The Richest Man In The World

When I get to Heaven

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 love me

Was famous to a few good friends

And beside me till the end

Was my wife, who is so lovely

And I don't know who could ask for 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

But the sands of time will wear down all the fame and fortune

Till 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'd 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 love me

Was famous to a few good friends

And beside me till the end

Was my wife, who is so lovely

And I don't know who could ask for any more

The richest man in the world

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 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 till the end

Is my wife, who is so lovely

And I don't know who could ask for any more

No, I could not have dreamed for any more

The richest man in the world

The richest man in the world
