|
I have loved, and |
|
I have lived |
|
And I have had my wild romances |
|
I've taken all that life can give |
|
And taken my fair share of chances |
|
It's been a good life |
|
Far from the high life |
|
And I thank |
|
God that this is my life |
|
I've known just how it is to win |
|
And I have felt the pain of losing |
|
Some paths |
|
I chose would end in tears |
|
But they were all of my own choosing |
|
It's been a good life |
|
Far from the high life |
|
And I thank |
|
God that this is my life |
|
I've known contentment |
|
In a woman's arms |
|
And felt the warmth of her devotion |
|
And I've known heartache |
|
And a dark despair |
|
That was as deep as any ocean |
|
But, we get the strength to carry on |
|
And build a life of our own making |
|
We thank the |
|
Lord for each new day |
|
And for every breath that we are taking |
|
It's a good life |
|
Far from the high life |
|
And I thank |
|
God that this was my life |
|
I've known contentment |
|
In a woman's arms |
|
And felt the warmth of her devotion |
|
And I've known heartache |
|
And a dark despair |
|
That was as deep as any ocean |
|
And looking back on all the years |
|
The loves, the sweetness, and the sorrow |
|
Have made me what |
|
I am today |
|
And I'd do it all again tomorrow |
|
It's been a good life |
|
Far from the high life |
|
And I thank |
|
God that this was my life |
|
We can't deny life |
|
How it flies by, life |
|
And I thank |
|
God that this was my life |
