John Berto - The Good Life lyrics

We sat staring out the window watching the world go by Full of wine and chatter and laughter Our hands touch and our eyes meet This is the good life, surely at last As the evening wears on We sit in the corner of another little bar Surrounded by friends A stranger pa**es and he catches my eye And he catches your eye too. And as I look back, you're disconcerted Our conversation resumes, close to each other's ears To overcome the noise To recover our poise This is the good life, surely at last But a seed is planted and once planted has a life of its own This could go on for days Or bring about the downfall of Rome In the morning, in each other's arms I say a little prayer and I keep my peace What you can't control, as they say A kiss undone, a small token of my self-esteem The seed it grows, the wheel it spins This is the good life, surely at last
