Life’s been good to me so far
Life’s been good to me so far
Sometimes I get an idea for a poem and it continues to grow into more than a three verse work. It morphs into a a song lyric and this is a case in point. Now all I need is the music.
Life’s been good to me so far
Life’s been good to me so far
And I’ve done a lot in my past.
I know there is more I can do
Before this breath is my last.
There is one thing I do know; I
Can’t finish anything without you.
I need you by my side no matter
What color I am: red, green, or blue.
Life’s been good to me so far.
I make choices and decisions …
Some small, others big, every day.
The moves made and when I make
Them determine my path today.
They show who I will see then,
And how much I will have to pay.
Life’s been good to me so far
And I’ve done a lot in my past.
I know there is more I can do
Before this breath is my last.
There is one thing I do know; I
Can’t finish anything without you.
I need you by my side no matter
What, or I just end up a fool.
Life’s been good to me so far.
Life’s been good to me so far-song version
(Musical intro)
I make choices and decisions …
Some big, others small, every day.
The moves made and when I make
Them determine my path today.
They show who I will see then,
And how much I will have to pay.
Life’s been good to me so far
And I’ve done a lot in my past.
I know there is more I can do
Before this breath is my last.
There is one thing I do know; I
Can’t finish anything without you.
I need you by my side no matter
What, or I just end up a fool.
Life’s been good to me so far.
There were times when I was lost.
The haze was thick and couldn’t see.
I waited for days to figure out
What was to become of me.
Now that I’ve been with you,
Babe, your love has set me free.
Life’s been good to me so far
And I’ve done a lot in my past.
I know there is more I can do
Before this breath is my last.
There is one thing I do know; I
Can’t finish anything without you.
I need you by my side no matter
What color I am: red, green, or blue.
Life’s been good to me so far.
It’s hard to remember all that
I’ve done or where I’ve been.
Life is a game, and you need to find
The rules if you really want to win.
I’ve changed parts in this play, and
I ‘m used to starting over again.
Life’s been good to me so far.
(Bridge)
There were times when I was lost.
The haze was thick and couldn’t see.
I waited for days to figure out
What was to become of me.
Now that I’ve been with you,
Babe, your love has set me free.
Life’s been good to me so far
And I’ve done a lot in my past.
I know there is more I can do
Before this breath is my last.
There is one thing I do know; I
Can’t finish anything without you.
I need you by my side no matter
What color I am: red, green, or blue.
Life’s been good to me so far.
Life’s been good to me so far.
