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
