When I die there won´t be much To salvage from my earning, I´ve never had a lot of land or houses to my name. I´ve never been a corporate prince on Madison in New York
I´ve never held a dimond 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 travelled far from my home town But I´ve heard music playing that made me understand; And I´ve been a Happy Man
Life has had its hard times when I felt the chill of winter I can´t forgert the night when My sweet Julie slipped away. But growing old was 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 (bis)
