This Is Life Songtext
von Laura Osnes

If we were in an MGM film
We would kiss and walk through that door there
If we were in a radio play
We′d admit we're friends, but there′s more there

If we were singing Hammerstein songs
We could fix all the wrongs in rhyme
But this is life, with the heartache it brings
And we know that these things take time

If we were in a Hemingway book
We would laugh and drink till the morning
If this were a ballet, then I might sweep
You off your feet without warning

Or filmed noir with a dangerous affair
I would ask if you'd care to stay
But this is life, and I'm wondering if
We should play it a different way


Maybe perfect nights of celebration

Hotel hallway brief flirtations
Might be overrated

Life′s more complicated
We could write our own take on it

Or leave well enough, alone

Shake on it

Shake on it

No one planned for a moment like this
There′s no perfect script that provides us
Words to say or the answers that might
Overcome the past that divides us

Movie stars with the passions they feel
Somehow in the last reel unite

You know

That's right


But this is life, so at least for today
We should probably say, good night
