Skip down Mystic street, have a smile, it's on me

Cross-town traffic days and Jimmy is singing

(Jimmy is singing)

Wonder Bread Factory, surplus stores and Maybelline

Hold my hand, I hold my own

Gotta get me out of the junkyard heap

Kicking back in marigold summertime dream

It's a good, good life, we got the good life

Falling in love under the raspberry sun

Turn up the stereo, baby have some fun

It's a good, good life, we got the good life

Fortune jackpot blues, what's an empty pocket do?

Climb the nearest dream and start demanding

Bean bags, bobby pins, glitter gel, I'm home again

Where's my shiny golden key?

Gotta get me out of the junkyard heap

Kicking back in marigold summertime dream

It's a good, good life, we got the good life

Falling in love under the raspberry sun

Turn up the stereo, baby have some fun

It's a good, good life, we got the good life

Roll down the window

(The rear view window gleams)

See you waving

(Waving back at me)

Find change under

(The sofa cushion seat)

As long as you are here, with me

Gotta get me out of the junkyard heap

Kicking back in marigold summertime dream

It's a good, good life, we got the good life

Falling in love under the raspberry sun

Turn up the stereo, baby have some fun

It's a good, good life, we got the good life

For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through, through it all

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'cause you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith cause you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'cause you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

Some day, when I'm awfully low

When the world is cold

I will feel a glow just thinking of you

And the way you look tonight

You're so lovely, with your smile so warm

And your cheek so soft

There is nothing for me but to love you

And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows

Tearing my fears apart

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart

Yes you're lovely, never ever change

Keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it?

'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows

Tearing my fears apart

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose

Touches my foolish heart

Yes you're lovely, never ever change

Keep that breathless charm

Won't you please arrange it?

'Cause I love you

Just the way you look tonight

Just the way you look tonight

Darling

Just the way you look tonight.
