Lovely Life Lyrics

I say happy days we are living
Well thanks and praise we must be giving
Yea yea, this one is life,
which is the whole apple,
something smooth...

CHORUS
Life has been lovely yea-ee
could't have been better for me
Life has been lovely
takes simplicity to see
Life has been lovely yea-eh
could't have been better for me
Life has been lovely
takes humility to see

As you see the earth you know I'm blessed
Still they search looking for happiness
What you got to have and what they done get
Tell me how does one measure greatness?
Love to see the flowers bloom as the butterflies flirt
For a little food I see the hands them ah search
All 'bove these things we inherit from the earth
Cuz yuh trod it from birth like Selassie I the first
You see... life is for I and I to live
and after life my friend there is nothing to give
So don't you go burning your bridge

CHORUS
Life has been lovely yea-eh
could't have been better for me
Life has been lovely yea-ey
takes simplicity to see
Life has been lovely yea-eh
could't have been better for we
Life has been lovely
takes simplicity to see

Once more
As you see the earth you know I'm blessed
Still they search looking for happiness
What you got to have and what they done get
Tell me how does one measure greatness?
Give thanks for all things Jah has sent
With them all I'm so content
Give thanks to Mother Nature and all her friends
They beautify the earth with such lovely essence
Ey, where at, so fine you stood your grounds
How could I have that and show any signs of frowns
Don't violate the laws of nature that's my song

CHORUS
...lovely yea-ey
could't have been better for me
Life has been lovely yea-ey
takes simplicity to see
Life has been lovely yea-ey
could't have been better for me
Life has been lovely
takes simplicity to see

So Sweet
As you see the earth you know we're blessed
Still they search looking for happiness
What you got to have and what they done get
Oh how does it measure greatness?

CHORUS
Life has been lovely, whoa oh so lovely
Life has been lovely, I mean lovely

Oh yes
Love to see the flowers bloom as the butterflies flirt
For a little food I see the hands them ah search
All 'bove these things we inherit from the earth
And yuh trod it from birth like Selassie I the first
Hey joy come in all sort and Jah love come in all portion
Observe the vegetation as ah yuh walk
giving thanks to be in this region
You can't condenm no my friend
'Cuz as you see the earth you know I'm blessed
Still the search looking for happiness
What you got to have and what they done get
Oh how does one measure greatness?

CHORUS
Life has been lovely yes
could't have been better for me
Life has been lovely
takes simplicity to see
Life has been lovely
