This Was My Life Lyrics

I have loved, and I have lived And I have had my wild romances I've taken all that life can give And taken my fair share of chances
It's been a good life Far from the high life And I thank God that this is my life
I've known just how it is to win And I have felt the pain of losing Some paths I chose would end in tears But they were all of my own choosing
It's been a good life Far from the high life And I thank God that this is my life
I've known contentment In a woman's arms And felt the warmth of her devotion And I've known heartache And a dark despair That was as deep as any ocean
But, we get the strength to carry on [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/this-was-my-life-lyrics-celtic-thunder.html ] And build a life of our own making We thank the Lord for each new day And for every breath that we are taking
It's a good life Far from the high life And I thank God that this was my life
I've known contentment In a woman's arms And felt the warmth of her devotion And I've known heartache And a dark despair That was as deep as any ocean
And looking back on all the years The loves, the sweetness, and the sorrow Have made me what I am today And I'd do it all again tomorrow
It's been a good life Far from the high life And I thank God that this was my life
We can't deny life How it flies by, life And I thank God that this was my life
