(When you're young,
when you're young and alive,
a broken yo-yo string
is all you'll ever know
of strife.
But what's the difference
if the life you live loves you
and you love life?)
I love life
and I want to live,
fill my cup with life
and drink all it can give.
I love life
and I love that moon above.
Life ain't life
if it ain't got lots of love.
I love life,
I want to live,
I love life.
I love life,
every night and day.
My heart hears music,
such pretty music
with a melody happy and gay.
I love life.
I love life.
I want love livin'
and I want love givin'
and I just want to live to love.
So I love life
and I want to live,
fill my cup with life
and drink all it'll give.
I love life
and I love that moon above.
Life ain't life
if it ain't got lots of love.
I love life,
I want to live,
I love life.
I love life
and I'm hopin' it loves me.
Here gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme more
of the things that life's worth livin' for,
'cuz I love livin'
and I wanna love givin'
until I'm a hundred-and-four.
'Cuz I love life!
