When you're lovin' and you're livin' there's a smile upon your face
|
You'll sing louder and you're prouder you belong to the human race
|
You'll be spritely goin' nightly at the age of ninety-five
|
If you're lovin' then you're livin' and it's great to be alive
|
|
If you're livin' and you're lovin' life can be a lot of fun
|
Things behind you just can't find you makes no difference what you've done
|
What passion rages turn the pages and don't let old age arrive
|
When you're lovin' then you're livin' and it's great to be alive
|

[ fiddle - steel ]
|
|
If you're livin' then be given all the things that's good and true
|
For your favor you'll find later that it all comes back to you
|
You'll be singin' bells're ringin' and your blues will take a dive
|
When you're lovin' and you're livin' and it's great to be alive
|
|
If you're not kissin' then you're missin' all the things that's nice and sweet
|
I can't feature any creature with the life so incomplete
|
So let's look yonder hopes're fonder and don't love we can survive
|
When you're lovin' then you're livin' and it's great to be alive
