Charmed Life
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.
When I hold you in my arms,
And look back on my charmed-
life
My charmed life
I hope, I hope if nothing more
That one day you'll call your-
Life
A charmed life
Well I never really worried that much
About making lots of money and such
And I always seemed to land on my feet.
Though there's been some difficult times
The good times where never far behind
I snatched all of my victories from the jaws of defeat
When I hold you in my arms,
And look back on my charmed-
life
My charmed life
I hope, I hope if nothing more
That one day you'll call your-
Life
A charmed life
Well the course of true love never ran smooth
They broke my heart, and I broke theirs too
And breaking up was so very hard to do
But I knew I'd find the one
And sure enough she came along
And not long after that along came you
Well sometimes this life is like being afloat
On a raging sea in a little row boat
Just trying not to be washed overboard
But if you take your chances and you ride your luck
And you never, never, never, never, never give up
Well those waves will see you safely to a friendly shore
When I hold you in my arms,
I know that this is a charmed-
life
A charmed life
