Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed,
once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head.
For a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul and
what I’m feeling what I’m feeling what I’m feeling
when it’s time to lose control, my love
And once again we’re off to war, but I can’t agree
with what we’re fighting for.
And that’s not all because every time she smiles I see her soul,
and I smile what a wonderful life.

It’s true I used to try, but then I gave up.
I learned it doesn’t really matter what I do and enough,
to appease or to please all my well-meaning things seem to all go up in smoke.
And every time I’m looking through these war field skies I wonder
what she’s doing why I wanted to die, but tonight I will fight for my life
so I might see my wife again.
I explained to her that I’d be back.
When I gave my word that fighting wouldn’t last.
But despite my path I know that every breath I draw might be my last. And I smile its been a wonderful life.

Goddamn, another summer in the city and I’ve never seen a girl look
so pretty as you when you smile oh for a while I was hoping
I might see you again.
I know (I know) that everybody’s willing to go,
but I find (I find) I turned it all even a dime,
if I leave tonight through what’s right I can make it home by dawn.
And I was told boy prepare for war, but they failed to mention
what I’d be fighting for.
So I fight for this the fact that as I pass away I feel her kiss.
And I sigh what a wonderful life.
Me oh my what a wonderful life.
Oh to die for such a wonderful life.
