Life In A Nutshell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nearly everything i wanted
Everything i ever could have dreamed of
Got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love
Nearly everything i thought, everything i thought i might try
Almost all came true, ooh, i'm satisfied
So don't cry, don't cry
When i die remember me with a smile in my eye
It's been a long hard drive and maybe my car caught fire
But nearly everything, everything came out fine
Almost got it, almost have it all
But you know you don't run, oh, unless you're willing to fall
Nearly everything i wanted, everything i ever could have dreamed of
Got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love
That's my life in a nutshell
Baby, you do what you can do
