Lyrics The Richest Man In The World - Ben Rector

When I get to heaven
And we'll end up outside the pearly gates
But 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, the richest man in the world
Father to a baby girl
And two boys that I know loved me
Famous to a few good friends
And beside me 'til the end
With my wife, who is so lovely

And I don't know who could ask any more
The richest man in the world
Richest man in the world

I may never live in Montecito
And I'll probably never own a jet
The sands of time will wear down all the fame and fortune
'Til I don't have any left

And 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 like to let the record state

Here lies the, 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 any more
The richest man in the world
The richest man in the world
Mm, mm-mm

You can spend your whole life wanting what you don't have
But you can find the beauty in the things you do

So I am the, the richest man in the world
Father to a baby girl and two boys that I know love me
Was famous to a few good friends
And beside me 'til the end
Is my wife, who is so lovely

And I don't know who could ask any more
No, I could not a dreamed for any more
The richest man in the world
The richest man in the world
