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 was 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 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 But we get the strength to carry on And build the 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
