I like living
The grass is green and the Sun's big in the sky
I'm just sitting on the front porch steps watching the world go by
With a cool, cool breeze, rustling through the leaves
Been a while since waking up has felt this good to me

I've lived a lot of days like this one
Don't know why today is different
There's only one good reason I can see
Yes, nearly half past nine and you still haven't crossed my mind
And I like living for the first time in a long, long time

Cup of coffee almost empty but it looks half full today
And the clouds instead of showers, I'll bet they'll just bring shade
And a beautiful girl just walked on by
When I smiled, today she stopped and said hello this time

I've lived a lot of days like this one
Don't know why today is different
There's only one good reason I can see
Yes, nearly half past nine and you still haven't crossed my mind
And I like living for the first time in a long, long time

This is the time to heal all wounds
I guess I'm the living proof
'Cause this morning my heart's finally let go of you

Yes, nearly half past nine and you still haven't crossed my mind
And I like living for the first time in a long, long time
I like living for the first time in a long, long time
