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

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 the world
The richest man in the world

I may never 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

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 til 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

You can spend your whole life wanting what you don´t have

Or you can find the beauty in the things you do

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 til 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
