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
