Wonderful Life!
Music by: W. V. Bennett Lyrics by:N. R. Palmer NOTE: The song has flute and piano accompaniment with a sixteen bar introduction. Verse 1 Care free! Roam free, all day long tasting freedom. My feet fall soft a-long paths worn and dusty. Pirate ship, sails full, on the river of dreaming. Ragged crew, sword in hand, battle brave without fear. Chorus Open field so wide to run. A hide to keep me safe. Summer sky shine down. Winter sky soft rain. Feeling joy. This wonderful life! Verse 2 Bush trail, bird song, gum tree blossom float downward. Tall tree, climb high, all the world spread before me. My old dog, good friend, staying close by me always. Setting sun, back to home, at the end of the day. |
Chorus Open field so wide to run. A hide to keep me safe. Summer sky shine down. Winter sky soft rain. Feeling joy. This wonderful life! Bridge Walking with the wind, joyful for the young. Wondrous childhood far behind us. Let our young ones run with life! Verse 3 Old house, kind hand, long gone stories to thrill me. Ripe fruit taste sweet, growing there for the taking. Bonfire bright and hot. Glowing sparks fly the night sky. Vivid mem‘ries of mine, handed on forever more. Chorus Open field so wide to run. A hide to keep me safe. Summer sky shine down. Winter sky soft rain. Feeling joy. This wonderful life! Feeling joy. This wonderful life! |
