Shirley Bassey "This Is My Life"

 

 

 

I never heard about this song before, until i heard it for the very first time when i was passing by a bar in Bangkok. There was a drag queen; who was performing this song. I was amazed by the way she presented the song especially when she sang this line, 'This is my life...'. I was touched. It brought many ideas for me to write something about her.

 

Funny, how a lonely day

Can make a person say

what good is my life

 

 
Funny, how a breaking heart

Can make me start to say
What good is my life

Funny, how I often seem
To think I'll find another dream
In my life

Till I look around and see
This great big world is part of me
And my life

This is my life, today, tomorrow
Love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me, this is me

This is my life and I don't
Give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love, I've got to give
Let me live, let me live

Sometime when I feel afraid
I think of what a mess I've made
Of my life

Crying over my mistakes
Forgetting all the breaks I've had
In my life

I was put on earth to be
A part of this great world is me
And my life

Guess I'll just add up the score
And count the things I'm grateful for
In my life

This is my life, today, tomorrow
Love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me, this is me

This is my life and I don't
Give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love, I've got to give
Let me live, let me live

This is my life
This is my life
This is my life
