BEFORE I DIE  © 1991 David Roth

Before I die I want to be

The richest man in history

I want to have a wealth of friends

Abundant love that never ends

Before I die I want to find

A lover who is soft and kind

And one last piece of cherry pie

That's what I want before I die

Before I die I want to choose

Some different roads and avenues

I want to walk each one in peace

And all my obstacles release

Before I die I want to know

I've told you that I love you so

I love you so, I love you so

That's what I want you to know

Before I die I want to be

The  richest man in history

And one last piece of cherry pie

That's what I want before I die
