This is the Life Lyrics

[Chorus]
This is the life
Here's where the living is
This is the life
Baby, you're there
This is the life
You've waited long enough
Boy, you've arrived
Breathe in that air
Modern perfume
Silver and candlelight
Children, make way
I'm here to stay
Nothing but plans
That's how it's going to be
This is the life for me

This is the life
Here's where the living is
This is the life
Baby, you're there
This is the life
You've waited long enough
Boy, you've arrived
Breathe in that air
Modern perfume
Silver and candlelight
Children, make way
I'm here to stay
Nothing but plans
That's how it's going to be
This is the life for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
