A Satisfied Mind lyrics

How many ti-imes have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could 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 wading in fortunes and fame
Everything that I`ve dreamed for to get a start in life`s game
But suddenly it happened
That I lost every dime
But I`m richer by far
With a satisfied mind

Money can`t buy-uy back your youth when you`re old
Or a friend when you`re lonely or a love that`s grown co-old
The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the ma-an
With a satisfied mind

When life has ended, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones, I`ll leave them, no doubt
But one thing for certain
When it comes my time
I`ll leave this old wor-orld
With a satisfied mind
