Imelda May - It's Good to Be Alive lyrics

My thoughts are dark and empty
I'm not crying out loud
Don't know what am I asking for
If an answer can be found

The loneliness is killing
Though there's someone in my bed
There's only so much living
That I fear I could be dead

But then standing at my window when
The night seems like it's won
And everything seems brighter
With the sign of the sun and I said

Oh my God, it's good to be alive
Oh my God, it's good to be alive
I know one thing for sure is that I'll die
But today, yeah, it's good to be alive

Lying in my bedroom my eyes are wide awake
My body's tired and given up
Oh, for heaven's sake

Won't you please, send me a little sleep
To ease my worried mind?
I'm losing rationality
That I won't know how to find

But then standing at my window when
The night seems like it's won
And everything seems brighter
With the sign of the sun

And I said

Oh my God, it's good to be alive
Oh my God, it's good to be alive
I know one thing for sure is that I'll die
But today, yeah, it's good to be alive
Things are looking up for me
When the clock keeps ticking on
Holding on to time gone by
Clinging to a song

To pull me through with every word
Or rock me with a tune
And to hold my hand when the shadow man
Is hiding in my room

But then standing at my window when
The night seems like it's won
And everything seems brighter
With the sign of the sun

And I said

Oh my God, it's good to be alive
Oh my God, it's good to be alive
I know one thing for sure is that I'll die
But today, yeah, it's good to be alive

Oh my God, it's good to be alive
Oh my God, it's good to be alive
I know one thing for sure is that I'll die
But today, yeah, it's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
