The Richest Man in the World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I get to heaven And we're lined up outside the pearly gates While 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 [Chorus] Say I was 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 till the end Was my wife who is so lovely And I don't know who could ask for any more I'm the richest man in thе world The richest man in the world [Verse 2] I may nеver live in Montecito I'll probably never own a jet And the sands of time will wear down all the fame and fortune Till I don't have any left 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 [Chorus] Here lies 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 till the end Was my wife who is so lovely And I don't know who could ask for any more I'm the richest man in the world The richest man in the world [Bridge] You can spend your whole life wanting what you don't have Or you can find the beauty in the things you do [Chorus] So I am 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 till the end Was my wife who is so lovely And I don't know who could ask for any more No, I could not have dreamed of any more I'm the richest man in the world The richest man in the world
