Life is Where You are...

Well, I took my Lady
To the top of a mountain--
We hung our feet over
All creation.
And we agreed--
That the sight was beautiful.
And we agreed--
That tomorrow, it'd be a memory.

And as far as we could see--
It was all that we could be--
But the land had seen lovers come and go before...

Life is where you are...oh, Life is where you are.

She said, "Think about
The greatest day in your life--
The day when you were longing for the sun to rise.
You said, "Hey this is Life
I've been lookin for..."
And you groaned as the shadows,
They fell to the floor."

And up on that mountain,
We saw our days
Rise like a vapor
And float away...

Life is where you are...oh, Life is where you are.
Life is where you are...oh, Life is where you are.
Talking about Life...

Think of all the times--think of all the times--
When you've dreamed of being somebody, somewhere in another time.
And you've closed your eyes been swallowed by sleep,
And your secret desires, they rise from the deep.
You say, "I wish I were somebody, somewhere else!"
Cause life looks so real from where they are...
But I tell ya...

Life is where you are...oh, Life is where you are.
Life is where you are...oh, Life is where you are.
Talking about Life...

We're all looking for security
Its the basic drug of human need.
Well, I've lost faith in things that fade
Or things that broken or taken away.

And up on that mountain,
We saw our days
Rise like a vapor
And float away...

Life is where you are...oh, Life is where you are.
Life is where you are...oh, Life is where you are.
Talking about Life...
