"This Life" lyrics

Always kept a roof above our head
Food laid on the table, I hope you know I'm grateful
For all the sleepless nights you would spend
Making sure that none of us, would ever have to worry again

But John got married
An Anna's thinking bout a kid
I'm getting ready, to settle down and settle in
I want to thank you, for all the things that you did
The work is done now, get on a plane so you don't miss

The mountains you could climb
And all the northern lights
Go see them shining
(Oh-oh-ah-oh)
And as your growing older, your feet are moving slower
Go take the time
Cause you only have this life

(Oh-oh-ah-oh)
(Oh-oh-ah)

Oh, my troubled mama's always there
With a hug for every heartbreak
A laugh with every mistake
She did it all for us without a care
Homemade cake on birthday's
Glad I get to say "now it your turn"

Cause John got married
An Anna's thinking bout a kid
I'm getting ready, to settle down and settle in
I want to thank you, for all the things that you did
The work is done now, get on a plane so you don't miss

The mountains you could climb
And all the northern lights
Go see them shining
(Oh-oh-ah-oh)
And as your growing older, your feet are moving slower
Go take the time
Cause you only have this life

(Oh-oh-ah-oh)
You only have this life (oh-oh-ah-oh)
(Oh-oh-ah-oh)
(Oh-oh-ah)

So when its time for you to take your rest
I hope you close your eyes
And lay down with a smile and no regrets
