|
I say happy days we are living |
|
Well thanks and praise we must be giving |
|
Yea yea, this one is life, |
|
Which is the whole apple, |
|
Something smooth... |
|
CHORUS |
|
Life has been lovely yea-ee |
|
Could't have been better for me |
|
Life has been lovely |
|
Takes simplicity to see |
|
Life has been lovely yea-eh |
|
Could't have been better for me |
|
Life has been lovely |
|
Takes humility to see |
|
As you see the earth you know I'm blessed |
|
Still they search looking for happiness |
|
What you got to have and what they done get |
|
Tell me how does one measure greatness? |
|
Love to see the flowers bloom as the butterflies flirt |
|
For a little food I see the hands them ah search |
|
All 'bove these things we inherit from the earth |
|
Cuz yuh trod it from birth like Selassie I the first |
|
You see... life is for I and I to live |
|
And after life my friend there is nothing to give |
|
So don't you go burning your bridge |
|
CHORUS |
|
Life has been lovely yea-eh |
|
Could't have been better for me |
|
Life has been lovely yea-ey |
|
Takes simplicity to see |
|
Life has been lovely yea-eh |
|
Could't have been better for we |
|
Life has been lovely |
|
Takes simplicity to see |
|
Once more |
|
As you see the earth you know I'm blessed |
|
Still they search looking for happiness |
|
What you got to have and what they done get |
|
Tell me how does one measure greatness? |
|
Give thanks for all things Jah has sent |
|
With them all I'm so content |
|
Give thanks to Mother Nature and all her friends |
|
They beautify the earth with such lovely essence |
|
Ey, where at, so fine you stood your grounds |
|
How could I have that and show any signs of frowns |
|
Don't violate the laws of nature that's my song |
|
CHORUS |
|
...lovely yea-ey |
|
Could't have been better for me |
|
Life has been lovely yea-ey |
|
Takes simplicity to see |

Could't have been better for me |
|
Life has been lovely |
|
Takes simplicity to see |
|
