Lyrics Shirley Horn

Shirley Horn

The Good Life

Oh, the good life, full of fun,

Seems to be the ideal

Yes, the good life let's you hide

All the sadness you feel.

You won't really fall in love,

For you can't take the chance

So be honest with yourself,

Don't try to fake romance.

It's the good life

To be free and explore the unknown,

Like the heartaches

When you learn you must face them alone.

Please remember, I still love you,

And in case you don't know,

Well, just wake up,

Kiss the good life "hel-lo".
