VERSE 1
Woke up today in a peaceful way, no worries on my mind
Thinkin life has been so good to me and everything is fine
My world is always changin, its a real mystery
In this morning light I feel alright, Im alive and Im free

CHORUS
And thats the way life is when you add a little bit of love
Like the way you feel when the sun is shinin up above
If I lose my way on a darker day and the road gets a little too rough
I remember the way life is with a bit of love

INTRO

VERSE 2
Lay down tonight under sunset light, another day come and gone
Living here and now I get by somehow, how can I go wrong
With all that Ive been given and all that I can be
In this evening light, Ill be alright, as far as I can see

CHORUS
Cuz thats the way life is when you add a little bit of love
Its the way that you feel when the sun is shinin up above
If I lose my way on a darker day and the road gets a little too rough
I remember the way life is (remember the way life is).... with a bit of love

BRIDGE
When shadows fall across my path, my mood can turn to blue
Every now and then I have to try to change my point of view
I may not know just where to turn or exactly what to do
So I start singing.... (I keep singing) ....singing....
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Whoa oa oa oa Yaa
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Whoa oa oa oa Yaa

SOLO (Over 1 Chorus - no tag)

CHORUS
(And) thats the way life is when you add a little bit of love
Like the way you feel when the sun is shinin up above
If you lose your way on a darker day and the road gets a little too rough
Remember the way life is.... (remember the way life is).... remember the way life is.......
With a bit of ...
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Whoa oa oa oa Yaa
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Whoa oa oa oa Yaa

TAG
Woke up today in a peaceful way, no worries on my mind.....

Awesome song. Could you post the lyrics?

[DaveMcWilliams]

Thanks so much for your nice words. We're thrilled that you're watching us from Nevada. I've posted the current lyrics which are a tiny bit different from this video. If you're a musician please feel free to play our song and send us a video of you singing it. We hope to spread the message of "The Way Life Is" wherever people are needing a little cheering up... that could be a lot of places these days. Have a great day and Pat and I wish you all happiness and joy! All the best, Dave McWilliams

Dave, are you doing any more tunes with your brother? would be interested in doing some recording..Talk soon...TIM

[rideblack101]

Wow Pat and Dave, great lyrics. The tune is quite infectious. Sorry it took so long to see it Pat. I remembered you mentioning it quite a while ago one Thursday night. it's definitely one to "get out there"/\

Later,

Dave:

I've got a band name suggestion for you guys...Think about it...Yellow guitar & green guitar...I'm thinking "Lemon & Lime."

Waddya think?

Man, I miss jammin' with you there. It's a great sounding room...Quite spacious...Reminds me of The Cavern Club.

Oh yeah...I lost my favourite guitar pick there somewhere. Guess I'll have to roll through Brantford again someday and retrieve it.

Great job guys...Keep at 'er!
