When I die there won`t be much to salvage from my earnings I never had a lot of land or houses to my name I`ve never been a corporate prince on Madison and New York I never held a diamond in my hand
But I`ve seen children laughing As only children can And I`ve known my creator And I`ve been a happy man
I never really loved the way I saw it in the movies But I had myself a woman of my own The place we lived was modest And we kept the yard together I never traveled far from my hometown
But I`ve heard music playing That made me understand And touched the hearts of heaven And I`ve been a happy man
Life has had it`s hard times When I`ve felt the chill of winter I can`t forget the night when my sweet Julie slipped away But growing old is different Than I always thought it would be The sweetness of my youth Just grew with age
`Cause I`ve known wealth and beauty Beneath his guiding hand And knowing soon I`ll see him Has made me a happy man And knowing soon I`ll see him Has made me a happy man.
