It's a Wonderful Life

Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed
 Once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head
 It's for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul
 And I'm feeling what I'm feeling what I'm feeling when it's time to lose control, my love
 And once again we're off to war
 But I can't agree with what we're fighting for
 And that's not all because every time she smiles I see her soul
 And I smile, what a wonderful life
 It's true I used to try, but then I gave up
 I learned it doesn't really matter, what I do ain't enough
 To appease or to please, all my well-meaning deeds
 Seem to all go up in smoke
 And every time I'm looking through these smoke filled skies
 I wonder what she's doing, why I volunteered to die
 But tonight I will fight for my life
 So I might see my wife again
 I explained to her that I'd be back
 When I gave my word that the fighting wouldn't last
 But despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last
 And I smile, it's been a wonderful life
 Goddamn, another summer in the city and
 I've never seen a girl look so pretty as you
 When you smile, oh, you're wild, for a while
 I was hoping I might see you again
 I know that everybody's willing to go
 But I find I'd turned it all and leave on a dime
 If I leave tonight, screw what's right
 I can make it home by dawn
 And I was told, "boy, prepare for war"
 But they failed to mention what I'd be fighting for
 So I fight for this, the fact that as I pass away I'll feel her kiss
 And I sigh, what a wonderful life
 Me oh my, what a wonderful life
 Oh, to die for such a wonderful life
