Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four
And they may not be many but nobody needs any more
Of the many facts making the list of life
Truth takes the lead
And to relax knowing the gist of life
It's truth you need

Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three
When you put them together you know what the last one must be
Baby so truth, honor and happiness
And one thing more
Meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that'll make four

Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four
And they may not be many but nobody needs any more
Of the many facts making the list of life

Truth takes the lead
And to relax knowing the gist of life
It's truth you need

Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three
When you put them together you know what the last one must be
Baby so truth, honor and happiness
And one thing more
Meaning love and that's the real score and more than enough when times are tough and poor
They may not comprise a lot
Still (you) only got those four
And there ain't no more
