[Verse 1] What is life anyway? It's just a blinking light on a Christmas tree What is life anyway? It's just an ice cream cone melting all over your hand What is life anyway? It's a kid who's crying but his mom understands It's a wind blowing by, blowing those puffy clouds through the sky [Chorus] What is life anyway? When you look back it's all a bunch of yesterdays Things you've had and love that was in your heart What is life anyway? But one moment at a time Like a string of pearls around your neck Or a ladder to the stars that you climb [Verse 2] What is life anyway? But a right now thing that you hold in your hand Like a song that you sing Just a kiss you had that stays upon your lips Sinks into your heart, someone that you miss [Outro] What is life anyway? It's a drop in the stream It's a tree in the forest It's a beautiful dream It's a coin of magic that you gave away What is life anyway? Life is right now, today
