Lyrics
I love life so I want to live
And drink of life’s fullness
Take all it can give, I love life
Ev’ry moment must count
To glory in its sunshine
And revel in its fount, I love life
I want to live, I love life
I love life
It holds me in its sway
My heart hears its music
A melody gladsome and gay
I love life
I’ll have none of worldly strife
Oh but to live for to love
I love life so I want to live
And drink of life’s fullness
Take all it can give, I love life
Ev’ry moment must count
To glory in its sunshine
And revel in its fount
I love life, I want to live
I love life
