Elvis Presley What a Wonderful Life
Written by Sid Wayne and Jay Livingston. Elvis recorded it July 5, 1961 at RCAs Nashville studios for his 1962 film Follow That Dream. It was sang over the opening credits. It is available on the Follow that Dream soundtrack.

It's a wonderful life
This life I'm livin'
What a wonderful life,
Living a life of ease, oh-ho-oh
Well, I've got no job to worry me
No big bad boss to hurry me
It's a wonderful life
life's good to me

It's a wonderful road
This road I'm travelin'
It's a wonderful road
headin' beyond the hills, oh yeah
Oh it may go straight or it may detour
But one thing that I know for sure
It's a wonderful life, life's good to me

I Don't know where I'm goin'
Don't care where I'm goin'
Like the four winds are blowin' I go on
Laughin' the day away, we lovin the night away
We, Till the moon is gone

It's a wonderful life
This life I'm livin'
What a wonderful life
Livin' the life I love, oh yeah
Well I've got neighbors, I've got friends
Anywhere the rainbow ends
It's a wonderful life, life's good to me

I Don't know where I'm goin'
Don't care where I'm goin'
Like the four winds are blowin' I go on
Laughin' the day away,
lovin the night away
Till the moon is gone
It's a wonderful life
This life I'm livin'

What a wonderful life
Livin' the life I love, oh yeah
Well I've got neighbors, I've got friends
Just about anywhere the rainbow ends
It's a wonderful life,
life's good to me
Its a wonderful life,
life's good to me, yeah
Oh its a Crazy life, life's good to me
Oh what a life

  • He was sensational at this session! GREAT!

  • Wonderful song with great lyrics. he never sang something like this ever again had no reason too actually! he had bags of sorrows in his life. See how happy young and carefree he was! he always was until others came into his life and made him miserable while taking everything he gave and...gave until he dropped dead!

  • I have the original vinyl 45 ep of this! Wonderful song. I wish that all of his movie songs were as good. This is one of the best!

  • What a wonderful Life!!!!!, Sung in fantastic tone

  • @teeye1 yep. the movie is great, and even though we are used to say elvis did b movies, this is acctually a good comedy, and the role he is playing is of very good performance. He is really really funny and makes you laugh honestly. It could get more rating, as a comedy

  • Excellent..

  • How many songs did Elvis sing, there seems to be no end to it, wonder if exhaustion and all the performing cut his life short. RIP.

  • What A Wonderful Tune!

  • I've always loved this song. It sort of slips through all the Elvis compilations; I have over 100 Elvis records and not one copy of this song. Also a very funny and under-rated movie from a much simpler time. Thanks for posting, all your vids are great.

  • This is take 7, unfortunately only available in mono as the stereo masters were lost. Great band which included guitarist Hank Garland, Boots Randolph, Floyd Cramer, Buddy Harman, Bob Moore, D.J. and Scotty and the soaring vocals of the Jordanaires and Millie Kirkham.

  • ELVIS IS AWESOME!!!

  • great song !
