I say happy days we are living

Well thanks and praise we must be giving

Yea yea, this one is life,

which is the whole apple, 

something smooth...


CHORUS

Life has been lovely yea-ee

could't have been better for me

Life has been lovely

takes simplicity to see

Life has been lovely yea-eh

could't have been better for me

Life has been lovely

takes humility to see


As you see the earth you know I'm blessed

Still they search looking for happiness

What you got to have and what they done get

Tell me how does one measure greatness?

Love to see the flowers bloom as the butterflies flirt

For a little food I see the hands them ah search

All 'bove these things we inherit from the earth

Cuz yuh trod it from birth like Selassie I the first

You see... life is for I and I to live

and after life my friend there is nothing to give

So don't you go burning your bridge


CHORUS

Life has been lovely yea-eh

could't have been better for me

Life has been lovely yea-ey

takes simplicity to see

Life has been lovely yea-eh

could't have been better for we

Life has been lovely

takes simplicity to see


Once more

As you see the earth you know I'm blessed

Still they search looking for happiness

What you got to have and what they done get

Tell me how does one measure greatness?

Give thanks for all things Jah has sent

With them all I'm so content

Give thanks to Mother Nature and all her friends

They beautify the earth with such lovely essence

Ey, where at, so fine you stood your grounds

How could I have that and show any signs of frowns

Don't violate the laws of nature that's my song


CHORUS

...lovely yea-ey

could't have been better for me

Life has been lovely yea-ey

takes simplicity to see

Life has been lovely yea-ey

could't have been better for me

Life has been lovely

takes simplicity to see


So Sweet

As you see the earth you know we're blessed

Still they search looking for happiness

What you got to have and what they done get

Oh how does it measure greatness?


CHORUS

Life has been lovely, whoa oh so lovely

Life has been lovely, I mean lovely


Oh yes

Love to see the flowers bloom as the butterflies flirt

For a little food I see the hands them ah search

All 'bove these things we inherit from the earth

And yuh trod it from birth like Selassie I the first

Hey joy come in all sort and Jah love come in all portion

Observe the vegetation as ah yuh walk

giving thanks to be in this region

You can't condenm no my friend

'Cuz as you see the earth you know I'm blessed

Still the search looking for happiness

What you got to have and what they done get

Oh how does one measure greatness?


CHORUS

Life has been lovely yes

could't have been better for me

Life has been lovely

takes simplicity to see

Life has been lovely
