(I’m So Happy To Be) ALIVE
(February 28, 1978)

I’m So Happy To Be Alive
I was almost over on the other side
I’m so happy now that I’m back home
‘Cos over on the other side you’re all alone
Without a phone of your own.

I’m so happy when I get a call
‘Cos over on the other side there’s nothin’ at all
I’m so happy just to hear a friend
Call and say ‘hello’, I know it’s not the end
I’ve got a friend and I’m Alive.

I’m Alive to be happy
And I’m Alive to be blue
Nothing really matters, you could break my heart
I could bear the pain, again tear me apart
I wanna grow much older gracefully
But nothing really matters don’t ya see?
Just to be Alive is good enough for me!

I’m So Happy To Be Alive
I know that you’ll agree when you see the other side
It feels so good to me to feel the sun
Even when the rainclouds have him on the run
I know the sun will come again.

I’m so happy, I’m so happy, I’m So Happy To Be Alive today
I’m happy, yes, I’m happy, I’m So Happy To Be Alive today
I am happy, you bet I’m happy, I’m so happy to realize
I won first prize ‘cos I’m Alive today.
