The brightest paper valentine
Has nothin' on this heart of mine
In spite of me, it's singin', gee
It's good to be alive
I figured me a hopeless case
I thought a smile would break my face
But all along I figured wrong
It's good to be alive

Just like a clock I'd tick and tock
But nothing was a kick
But now I'm glad I'm livin'
'Cause I know what makes me tick-tick-tock

Life never seemed so sweet before
Like all the world's a candy store
And though it's been there all the time
I'm like a kid who's found a dime
It's all for me, it's good to be alive

Just like a clock I'd tick and tock
But nothing was a kick
But now I'm glad I'm livin'
'Cause I know what makes me tick

Life never seemed so sweet before
Like all the world's a candy store
Though it's been there all the time
I'm like a kid who's found a dime
It's all for me, it's good to be alive, alive

It's good to be alive
