Dick Lee - Life Story

Dick Lee - Life Story

C G/B
Wake up, she said
B7 Em
Look it’s a beautiful day
Dm
Downstairs to the kitchen door
G
And then away
Into the night
Morning feeling is on
Come the clouds, the moon
And morning is gone

Born today some years ago
And had a happy childhood
But I fell in love and out
Nothing changed
Lived a life of nothing much
But then how much can one expect?
So there you are
My life has gone
But I’m the same C
Just my life story
G/B Am Em/G
Minute by second a story
F C Dm G
That goes on forever with each breath that I take
This is my life story
Uneventful a story
That ages with each year and birthday cake

Get up, he said
Hurry or you might be late
Everyday you hurry off to keep your date
Learn something new
What are you hoping to prove?
Make some money
Find a wife
Have a kid or two

Thinking back
I like to dream of things I would have done
If I were braver then again or not
What can I do?
Maybe if I had another chance
I’d go into my past
And make my life a better one
For me and you

Just my life story
Minute by second a story
That goes on forever with each breath that I take
This is my life story
Uneventful a story
That ages with each year and birthday cake

When its time
And I must close
I’ll write a book
And sign it X
And send it to some true romance type magazine somewhere
Then the world will read of me
And say there lived a hero
But too late my friends and enemies
I guess life isn’t fair

So my life story
Is quite explanatory
Would you please start from page one
And please go on
Till I’m done
Till I’m done
Till I’m done

This is an old song from the 70s by Dick Lee when he was very young. The song was used in an ad in the 90s. I hope we don't get our information mixed up. This is a Dick Lee song.

[GoddessOfWhine]

thank you for putting up this video. This is a beautiful song and one of my favourites from a local talent that Singaporeans can be truly proud of.

[jasnurhadi]
