This Was My Life

I have loved, and

I have lived

And I have had my wild romances

I've taken all that life can give

And taken my fair share of chances

It's been a good life

Far from the high life

And I thank

God that this is my life

I've known just how it is to win

And I have felt the pain of losing

Some paths

I chose would end in tears

But they were all of my own choosing

It's been a good life

Far from the high life

And I thank

God that this is my life

I've known contentment

In a woman's arms

And felt the warmth of her devotion

And I've known heartache

And a dark despair

That was as deep as any ocean

But, we get the strength to carry on

And build a life of our own making

We thank the

Lord for each new day

And for every breath that we are taking

It's a good life

Far from the high life

And I thank

God that this was my life

I've known contentment

In a woman's arms

And felt the warmth of her devotion

And I've known heartache

And a dark despair

That was as deep as any ocean

And looking back on all the years

The loves, the sweetness, and the sorrow

Have made me what

I am today

And I'd do it all again tomorrow

It's been a good life

Far from the high life

And I thank

God that this was my life

We can't deny life

How it flies by, life

And I thank

God that this was my life
