My life is like an open book And as I glance back through the pages I see the chances, I often took Though I was never too courageous Life's never easy all the time The hills you climb Often lead no where Of ups and downs I've had my share That's what life is all about I've known success Some mild acclaim And thinking of it gives me pleasure And I've had some stress The scars remain When Lady Luck gave me short measure When things went wrong I'd fake a smile But that's my style 'Cause I've been around And having been being around, I've found That's what life is all about It's been a joy, I can't deny Though some may think I took things lightly But man and boy, I look on High And never fail to thank Him nightly When I look back, I can't forget The friends I've met And the things they've done I thank 'em all It's been great fun As for me, I have no doubt That's what life is all about That's what life is all about
