All my life I’ve worked so hard
To try and make more money
Most of my time I’ve spent at work
None left for socialising

The harder I worked, the less I had
The cost of living rising
House I bought, much too grand
The mortgage nearly killed me

Furnishings had to be the best
Most cost a King’s ransom
Persian rugs upon the floor
And on the walls hung Masters

In the garage cars I had
A Ferrari, Porsche and Jaguar
There they sat, alone, unused
For I had no time to drive them

Lonely house and lonely rooms
And a bed I was lost in
No-one here to share with me
This journey through a lifetime

Too late I see as I near the end
How sad was my existence
I was not living life
Just barely stumbling through it

If I had this time again
I’d add up my riches different
Possessions in the end mean naught
Count love that’s all around you
