The sheet music:
Lyrics
When I was young, it was so heavenly
To be alone in my dream reverie
I could close my eyes and travel far
Sometimes I’d journey to a star
I’ve never lost that illusion, it seems
Day after day I continue my dreams
That’s the reason I can safely say
I am happy, come what may, for
Refrain:
I live the life I love
All worldly cares above
I’m carefree as the breeze
Doing as I choose
Going where I please, Oh!
I love the life I live
No moon could ever give
More romance from above
That’s the reason I live the life I love
