Lyrics
RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD
Standing on the edge of the ocean
Stretched across a canvas of sand
Under the moon on a blanket of stars
This is where it all began
He said no matter what ever happens
I?ll always come back to this spot
Back to the summers of boyhood
No matter how much money I?ve got
Chorus:
I?m the richest man in the world
If ever my pockets seem empty
All I ever have to do
Is find my way back home to you
When stars disappeared behind streetlights
He said I?ve gotta get out of this place
I?ve gotta watch the milky way crossin' the sky
Like freckles on my little girl?s face
God willing we?ll all grow old together
Sea turtles heading for home
Time moves through the seasons
As we watch it disappear
Chorus
One day the tide
Will carry us
Out to sea
