The Finer Things

           I used to dream the hours away...
           Thinking it so grand. To have the
          "finer" things in life all sitting in life
           all sitting in my hand.

           The "finer" things, or so I thought,
           were things that brightly shined.
           Like diamonds, gold, champagne, and
           yes, the rich imported wines.

           But now I see things differently, it's
           taken me awhile. The "finer" things in
       life are things that never loose their  style.

        A baby's smile is just one thing, but there
        are others too. A football game my son played
        in, we're all so proud of you!

       A little girl with golden hair who sings her
       favorite song. A husband playing his guitar
       but please don't play too long.

      A crazy bird who talks alot but only to himself.
      'Cause if you try to show him off, your talking
       to yourself.

       The "finer" things in life are things that money
        just can't buy. So open up and look around,
        and give yourself a try.

        You really can be rich you see and happier it's
        true. When you can love the things you have
        life can be good to you!.
