Phil Vassar - Life Lyrics






Life Ooh, life, Ooh yeah
One day you're up high, you're flying through the sky
Got a peaceful mind and everything is all right
Next minute you're face down in it
And then there's just no winning no relief in sight
Aww Life

It's the middle of the summer and you're floating on a river
Got a beer got your girl an dyoug et a big kiss
gotta say, it doesn't get better
better thank the good Lord on a day like this
Aww

Life, life, life
Its wild and wonderful
Life life life
ooh baby you and me
we're gonna drink it all up
Make a lot of love and have a little fun called life

yeah you gotta love life

There's a man and a woman in the middle of the night
one last push and a baby cries
they look at each other
they're a daddy and a mother
And they take a first look in their baby's eyes
Life

Look at that now
my great grandma 93 years old
she had a wild ride but her time had come
she took me by the hand and said
dying's part of living
boy you better live it up before its gone now

Life, life woah
Lets celebrate it honey it don't last long
'cmon baby put your party boots on
yeah life
woah yeah

hey baby come take my hand
let me take you to the Promised Land
Ooh life life life

woah life life yea yea yea
you gotta love life woah yeah
you gotta love life Hey yea
you gotta love life

  72. S.... W....

  76. C.... C....

    When I travel for work and am away for a week from my son I miss him so much but "sorry son mommy has to work" It is hard but I have to work because I have to provide for my child

  77. M.... ....

    You fucked up big time bro but nobody on here gives a fuck. You made bad decisions live the fuck with it.

    M.... ....

  79. M.... ....

    Welcome back, Semper Fi, God Bless!

  80. P.... M....

  82. E.... J....

    From one Marine to another; Semper Fi. This song applies to me with my daughter as well.

  83. B.... &....

    B.... &....

    Alex westberry Stop making bad decisions bro! May God bless and be with you!

  84. A.... ....

    every.
    damn.
    time.
    -cries-

  85. A.... S....

    I can say I relate, being away from family is hard!

    HOOAH!

  86. C.... S....

    Is that a Wisconsin hat at 1:48?

  87. A.... W....

    I love this song because I can relate to it and everything he says my whole family can relate to and the reason is because I barley see my real day because he pretty disowned me after he got remarried and he it seems like he doesn't care bout me.I learned that even if he does disown me then he better kno that he is missing out on how much I have grown up and how much that he has hurt me.My real dad has hurt me so much that I know what he has done to my family and especially my sister. :( it hurt

  88. T.... M....

    Such an amazing song such powerful words

  89. M.... N....

    This is my dad I see him maybe 7days in a hole month or sometimes 0 times a month if he is really working I just wish he was there more often p.s. I love u daddy

    M.... N....

    Melanie Napoli My daughter sees me maybe a few hours out of a whole month! What kind of crazy fool does that!

  90. E.... D....

    Id feel pretty cool to be the man who gave him that advice.. So true though. Life goes by so fast and we need to live in the moment, instead of being anxious, busy, and wishing our lives away. I need to remember to live each day to the fullest and be thankful for each one I am blessed with, because tomorrow is not guaranteed.

  91. B.... E....

    I'm in the Air Force, and this song solidify my future. I don't have a family yet, but this song makes me want to get out after my six years so I won't miss anything during a long deployment.

  92. A.... ....

    ruined the whole point of the song

    A.... ....

    AZrider27 Huh?

  93. T.... M....

    my dad chose his race team before me and mom, then once he was gone my mom hard to work double, one choice can change everything. now im not close to either becasue 1 didnt want to be there and the othere couldnt be... if ur gonna be a parent make sure ur always there for them or let them no u are becasue it can make things really hard for them later

  94. T.... G....

    This song makes me cry every time at 2:40 onwards
    Regardless of who I'm with, what I'm doing or where I'm at!

  95. S.... F....

    i love this song
