Lyrics I Have Lived - Alistair Griffin

Cocktail shaker and book-maker are my friends
Drink from dusk till dawn the laughter never ends
You'll look at me and tell me that's no way to live
I reply now I gave it all I have to give

I have lived, I have died
I have laughed and I have cried
I have loved, I have lost
I've risked it all, I've payed the cost
Cos when they bring the news that i was drinking champagne when i died
And my sixth wife will tell the gathered crowds now please don't cry
You'll see, my friend

I have lived each moment of each day
I have lived, you can't take that away
I have lived each moment of each day
I have lived, they can't take that away
I've lived I've died
I've laughed and cried
Cheated and i've been forgiven
But most of all i have lived
