This was a song I wrote too many years ago More than I’d like to know Or want you to remember Born in time to see the sixties die Born too late to know what was so great Or remember The river ran round on the other side Where it can never come back Are you having a wonderful life?
I was the song I wrote before I thought to sing Some of them thought there were other things I should do here And you missed the rain until it started up Standing outside with a paper cup in December The river ran round on the other side But it can never run back Are you having a wonderful life?
The sound of wind rushing in the trees Singing drunk on a trampoline in December The river can run round the other side But it can never run back Are you having a wonderful life?
