The Richest Man In The World - Ben Rector
Composed by:Ben Rector

When I get to Heaven
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 love 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
Richest man in the world
I may never live in Montecito
And I'll probably never own a jet
But the sand 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
And 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 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
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
But 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 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 for any more
No I could not have dreamed for any more
The richest man in the world
The richest man in the world
