The Richest Man In The World - Ben Rector

When I get to heaven

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 'til the end

Was my wife who is so lovely

And I don't know who could ask for any more

Richest man in the world

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

'Til 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

The richest man in the world

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

Is 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

Richest man in the world

The richest man in the world
