I have felt winter snow
Melting as it touches my skin
I have cried heartaches tears
As summer came shuffling in
Uh I've run barefoot across moonlit sand
Found friendship where I thought they'd
never understand
Held a newborn baby in these hands
CHORUS:
And this is life these precious moments
And this is life these sad goodbyes
And this is life this roller coaster
These days of grace this surprise
And this is life
I have hoped, I have prayed
Wished upon a falling star
I have found secret strength
Hidden inside my heart
Oh I guess that this will always be
A winding journy to an end I cannot see
But here I am caught up in this mystery
CHORUS:
And this is life these precious moments
And this is life these sad goodbyes
And this is life this roller coaster
These days of grace this surprise
And this is life
And love has made me bluer than
The wildest morning sky
And love has lifted me until
I thought that I could fly
CHORUS 2x
And this is life
This is life
And this is lifemy heart had been broken
and i couldn't take no more
i shuttered up my windows
and i bolted tight my door
then i took one look at you
and i nearly lost my mind
chorus:
now i'm going 'round going 'round
going 'round going around one more time
yes i'm going 'roung going 'round
going 'round goung around one more time
betty was a little heartbreaker
it didn't quite work out
she did a number on my confidence
i was riddled with self doubt
i said that's it i'm through i quit
the juanita she looked so fine.
chorus
'round and 'round in a circle
it's always the same
one moment you swear you've had enough
the next you've got to know her name
all on my own it wasn't that bad
i was getting by as i could get
i stopped into a drug store
for one pack of cigarettes
she did't have a quarter
had to call her cousin kate
and could i lend her maybe
one thin dime
chorus
