Imelda May - It's Good To Be Alive lyrics

rate me

My thoughts are dark and empty

I'm not crying out loud

Don't know what am I asking for

If an answer can be found

The loneliness is killing

Though there’s someone in my bed

There's only so much living

That I fear I could be dead

But then standing at my window when

The night seems like it's won

And everything seems brighter

With the sign of the sun

And I said

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

I know one thing for sure is that I'll die

But today, yeah, it's good to be alive

Lying in my bedroom

My eyes are wide awake

My body's tired and given up

Oh, for heaven’s sake

Won't you please send me a little sleep

To ease my worried mind

I'm losing rationality

That I won't know how to find

But then standing at my window when

The night seems like it's won

And everything seems brighter

With the sign of the sun

And I said

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

I know one thing for sure is that I'll die

But today, yeah, it's good to be alive

Things are looking up for me

When the clock keeps ticking on

Holding on to time gone by

Clinging to a song

To pull me through with every word

Or rock me with a tune

And hold my hand with the shadow man

Who’s hiding in my room

But then standing at my window when

The night seems like it's won

And everything seems brighter

With the sign of the sun

And I said

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

I know one thing for sure is that I'll die

But today, yeah, it's good to be alive

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

Oh my God, it's good to be alive

I know one thing for sure is that I'll die

But today, yeah, it's good to be alive

It’s good to be alive
