Wonderful Life lyrics
The song Wonderful Life chords is composed of two parts as well as a bridge and a chorus.
The structure of the lyrics is simple:
Part 1 – Bridge – Chorus – Part 2 – Bridge – Chorus
Part 1
Here I go out to see again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There’s magic everywhere
Bridge
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
Chorus
No need to run and hide
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh or cry
It’s a wonderful, wonderful life
Part 2
The sun’s in your eyes, the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you’re there
And I need a friend, oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand there on my own
Bridge
Chorus
