Life is Sweet

This one is for the girl,
who says she’s unlucky in love:
You deserve to have the world at your feet
And if one person, one man could be it enough,
Then I wish it could be me, I wish it could be me.

This one is for the boy,
who’s daddy never had time for him:
I wish I could build you a little house
for you to hide in
I’d give you back your summers,
I’d give you back all your summers,
You still have summers...

Life is sweet, life is sweet,
Life is sweet,
Bitter sweet
And the days keep rolling along

This one is for the girl,
Who says those voices in her head,
never leave her alone:
Don’t listen to your teacher,
you’re not crazy,
you’re just smarter than the rest of them.
Paint a picture,
Write a song,
Tell your story,
Bang a gong!

Life is sweet, life is sweet,
Life is sweet,
Bitter sweet
And the days keep rolling along

This one is for the boy,
who’s not allowed to be part of the game:
You don’t need those losers,
I think you’re beautiful.
And you meet a girl
and you fall in love
and it doesn’t work out
Well, it won’t be the first time,
and they don’t make a cure for that

So you eat your breakfast,
read a book,
open up you window,
be alone...

Life is sweet, life is sweet,
Life is sweet,
Bitter sweet
And the days keep rolling along
Rolling along...
