I've walked down many roads watched the world spin around
Had wealth right in my hands but what more can I recount
The light shone bright I was a king but in the silence I could see
The things that truly matter can't be bought can't be seen
Cause in the end when I look back it's not the gold that brings me peace
It's the love the laughter in the home that makes a life complete
I had power I had status climbed mountains with no end
But at the top I stood alone and the cold was my only friend
The days go by and now I know time is the treasure we should keep
For it's the company the honest embrace that fills the heart that runs deep
Cause in the end when I look back it's not the gold that brings me peace
It's the love the laughter in the home that makes a life complete
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Now I search for what I've lost those moments I let slip away
The sparkle in the eyes of those I loved that's what truly holds the weight
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Cause in the end when I look back it's not the gold that brings me peace
It's the love the laughter in the home that makes a life complete
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
And now I know I finally see that in the arms of those near me
I find the peace I find my home and that's what living truly means
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
That makes a life complete
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
And now I search for what I've lost those moments I let slip away
The sparkle in the eyes of those I loved that's what truly holds the weight
Cut out 1 2 3 4
La-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la oh oh oh
That makes a life complete
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
That makes a life complete
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
That makes a life complete
