This Was My Life (Performed by George Donaldson)

I have loved and I have lived,
And I have had my wild romances.
I’ve taken all that life can give,
And taken my fair share of chances
It's been a good life, far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life.

I’ve known just how it is to win,
And I have felt the pain of losing,
Some paths I chose would end in tears,
But they were all of my own choosing.
It's been a good life, far from the high life
But I thank God that it was my life.

I’ve known contentment in a woman’s arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion,
And I’ve known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean

But we get the strength to carry on
And build a life of our own making.
We thank the Lord for each new day,
And for ev’ry breath that we are taking.
It’s a good life, far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life.

I've known contentment in a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion,
And I've known heartache and a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean.

And looking back on all the years,
The loves, the sweetness and the sorrow
Have made me what I am today
And I’d do it all again tomorrow.
It's been a good life, far from the high life
And I thank God that it was my life.
We can’t deny life
How it flies by - life
And I thank God that
This Was My Life
