i do not want what i do not have

i do not want what i do not have

just give me a laugh 'cause i'm easy to please

one good book and a faithful friend

things money cannot buy

life is short but the day is long

so give me a minute

i'll give you a song

i do not want what i do not have

'cause baby i got you

who could ask for anything more?

it's so good to be alive

i shall not ask for anything more

'cause i got you by my side

i know a boy who'd give anything

for five minutes more in this cruel world

just to see the evening sun

burn red in the sky once more

even if you come back again

life is short so you best be happy

i do not want what i do not need

who could ask for anything more?

it's so good to be alive

i shall not ask for anything more

'cause i got you by my side

while the light is in our eyes

while the sun is still so high

while the band is playing dance

we're here

now

aren't we?

while the light is in our eyes

you still stay by my side

it's a miracle we're here now

aren't we?

who could ask for anything more?

it's so good to be alive

to be alive

just keep on breathing by my side

keep on

keep on

keep on

we are here now

we are here now

here now

here now

here now

who could ask for anything more?

it's so good to be alive

i shall want for anything more

'cause i've got you by my side

by my side

it's so good to be alive

so good to be alive
