Lyrics
I LOVE THIS LIFE
BY JOHN NEIL MARTIN & LYNDA DOBBIN-TURNER
V1
Every now and then I get to thinking that
Not a single day has enough time in it
No time for fun because I work so hard
No time to play because I'm just too tired
Seems like sometimes in this life I'm livin'
I'm not getting nearly what I'm givin'
So busy trying to make it to the top
Every now and then I got to stop
Pre-chorus
Take a look at everything I've got around me
All the precious treasures that surround me
When I take the time to see all that is right
I see how I love this life
Chorus
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
V2
Life can often seem like it's so tough
Got to learn to say enough's enough
Sometimes you've got to let it be
Do the things that set you free
You and I need time to breathe
We've got everything we ever need
I know I am gonna be just fine
As long as I've got your hand in mine
Pre-Chorus
Take a look at everything I've got around me
All the precious treasures that surround me
When I take the time to see all that is right
I see how I love this life
Chorus
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
Bridge
You and I have got to promise
That we'll do our best
Treasure everything we've got
Remember how we're blessed
V3
I see the sun peaking over the trees each day
As clouds of white go by
I see the magic colors of spring and fall
And skies of blue so bright
I've got people here that love me
I know they got my back
If I ever start to slip a bit off track
I'm reminded of all that's going right
And how I love this life
Chorus
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
I love this life, I love this life
