Charles Aznavour - I Have Lived lyrics

[Charles Aznavour - I Have Lived lyrics]

When I take a one way ticket
To the road of no return
On a journey every man must make someday
When it's time to meet my maker
And explain my sins away i will tell him
Yes I'll tell him I have lived

I have lived each single moment
As a man of flesh and blood
With my soul and all my senses open wide
I have lived and tasted everything
That called out to be tried
I'm afraid of neither heaven nor of hell
Never caring if I had a soul to sell
I was no more optimistic than
My fellow man would be
I have always been an artist not a saint
Now the neon lights are dimming
No more costumes no
More paint I admit that I was selfish
I have lived

I have lived a life of
Running after joy & happiness
With my feelings always tearing at my heart
Oh my lord, i should have thought of my
Salvation at the start
But I lived so many mornings I was told
You would take a sinner back into the fold

If my reasons seems too fragile
And my words of no
Effect and forgiveness is the one
Thing I must win
I'll explain my life and show
You all I am and
All I've been and I'll save in my defence
Well I have lived

I have lived with soul on fire
With desire in my skin
In the name of everyone I've ever known
I have worshipped every shrine of love
And if I must at all I'll be ready then to
Kneel and pay the price
For the yesterday's I spent in paradise

I have lived, my life
