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
