Am D
My dear, everything moves so fast
G Em
It all moves so fast these days
Am D
But come in real close
G
We'll dance real slow
Em
Maybe time will change its pace
Am D
Maybe we can sing
G Em
Time to sleep, just for tonight
Am D
We can tiptoe and slip outside
G Em
Before he wakes the morning's light
Am G D Em
[Verse 2]
Am D
And like carolers on Christmas Eve
G Em
We will call on those held dear
Am D
And we will pass the spirits among us
G Em
We will toast the coming year
Am D
It will surely come before we know it
G Em
And the next upon its heels
Am D
But within this life is splendor tangled
G Em
Like Christmas lights unreeled
[Chorus]
Am D G
My dear, it's still a wonderful life
Em
A wonderful life
Am D G
My dear, it's still a wonderful life
[Verse 3]
Am D
My dear, let's toast the sorrows
G Em
And the dreams left unfulfilled
Am D
For this life is a blink and a whisper
G Em
But look at all that we have built
Am D
Look at all the things we had to share with
G Em
Look at all the hope that we have dared with
Am D G
Look at how far we've left and how far we've come
[Chorus]
Am D G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
Em
A wonderful life
Am D G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
Am D G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
Em
A wonderful life
Am D G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
[Verse 3]
Am D
Look at all the friends we have to share with
G Em
Look at all the hope that we have dared with
Am D G
Look at how far we've left and how far we've come
[Chorus]
Am D G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
Em
A wonderful life
Am D G
My friends, it's still a wonderful life
