Life Would Be Wonderful Lyrics
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
If I was a little taller
If I was not quite so old
If my raincoat had a collar
To help me keep away the cold
If my little mouse named Norman
Was still alive inside the sock
He used to keep himself so warm and cozy
Inside his little cardboard box
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
If I had a nice location
To sit where people passing by
Looked like they were on vacation
And helped me buy some pecan pie
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
If I could afford a breakfast
Of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs
If I hadn't been so reckless
When I lost my other leg
If there was an open doorway
Where I could be warm and dry
And visit with some memories
I made once upon a time
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
