Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed And once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head It's for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul And I'm feeling what I'm feeling when I'm feeling when it's time to lose control, my love And once again we're off to war But I can't agree with what we're fighting for And that's not all, because every time she smiles I see her soul When I smile what a wonderful life It's true I used to try, but then I gave up I learned it doesn't really matter, what I do ain't enough To appease or to please, all my well meaning deeds seem to all go up in smoke And every time I look into these smoke filled skies I wonder what she's doing, why I volunteered to die But tonight I will fight for my life so I might see my wife again I explained to her that I'd be back When I gave my word that the fighting wouldn't last But despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last And I smile: It's been a wonderful life God damn, another summer in the city and I never seen a girl look so pretty as you When you smile oh you're wild for a while, I was hoping I might see you again And I know that everybody is willing to go And I find I'll turn it all and leave on a dime If I leave tonight, screw what's right, I can make it home by dawn And I was told: Boy, prepare for war But they failed to mention what I'd be fighting for So I fight for this: The fact that as I pass away, I'll feel her kiss When I smile: What a wonderful life Me oh my, what a wonderful life Oh to die for such a wonderful life
