Lyrics
How Many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money, I'd do things my way
How little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
For money can't buy back your youth when your old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a love that's grown cold
The richest of persons is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
