The Good Things In Life Songtext
von Anthony Newley

I have lived, I have loved
I have laughed, I have cried
I have tried to give my life some meaning
I have tried to make it all make sense
I have made the journey up the mountain
And the descents
I have known the bitter taste of sadness
I have fought some pretty hopeless fights
I have lived the loveliest of days
And loneliest nights


I have won, I have lost
I have learned to my cost
That I′ve crossed and burned too many bridges
If I could go back, perhaps I would
Then again I don't take good advice
When maybe I should
But I raise my glass
To the good things in life
To a place in the sun where our children can run
To the green of the grass
And the love of a wife

I′ve been right, I've been wrong
I've been weak, I′ve been strong
And I long to live in someone′s memory
And I long to live upon a hill
And it doesn't matter that I know
That I never will
But I raise my glass
To the good things in life
I am not here for long but there′s time
For a song and some wine
And when time runs away
I will look back and say
That the good things in life
Were all mine
