When I Was Rich

Lyrics

When I was rich I lived upstairs In two small rooms above a shoe repair I'd take the bus to work each day Punch out at five and head back the other way I'd turn the key and hear you sing We'd spend a night like queen and king I had it all When I was rich When I had you When I was rich I'd lie awake And dream about the fortune I would make A pretty house, one with a view Some real nice clothes, I'd buy it all for you You'd shake your head and always laugh You'd say we're fine with what we have And it was true When I was rich When I had you When everyone's asleep and I've had a bit to drink I always mean to call To tell you you were right The best things in life aren't things at all When I was rich I didn't know How much it cost to hurt somebody so I lost your love, I lost my way What I would give to climb those stairs today To turn the key and hear you sing I wouldn't want for anything I had it all When I was rich When I had you When I had you
