The Good Life

Boxes full of photographs
Stolen moments from the past
Hold onto them ‘cause they don’t last
How it flies, don’t blink your eyes, it goes so fast        

Even if you’re there for every single minute
With both of your eager eyes open wide
Swear to yourself that you will never forget it
In the finest minds, memories fade with time 
So, take it all in, take it all in, take it all in
Got to soak it all up, soak it up now, soak it up through your skin

This is the good life
Don’t let it pass you by
This is the good life
Savor every moment of bliss
It doesn’t get much better than this
Whoa

Spend all your days focused on
All the things that you have and haven’t done
When you could be having fun
With the little ones who aren’t so little anymore               

But there’s no time left for you to regret it
There is so much more to be done 
Time will pass you by, if you let it
It won’t be long before they’re grown and they’ll be gone

So, you better jump in, better jump in, better jump in
Oh, you better do it now, do it right now, do it while you can

This is the good life
Don’t let it pass you by
This is the good life
Savor every moment of bliss
It doesn’t get much better than this
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Slow it down
Look around you now
There is so much there to see
Feast your eyes
Where the beauty lies
On the little things that fill you up inside
They’ll fill you up inside

This is the good life
Don’t let it pass you by
This is the good life
Whoa

This is the good life
Don’t let it pass you by
This is the good life
Whoa

This is the good life
Let it make you high
Don’t let it pass you by 
Whoa
Whoa

Savor every moment of bliss
It doesn’t get much better than this
