In a Lifetime

White Magic (2004), 1982 Cassette Archive CS200b

In a lifetime
you wear a lot of socks
See a lot of shows
Eat a lot of food

In a lifetime
You chew a lot of gum
Drink a lot of pop
Watch a lot of TV

But what we got here
Doesn't happen very often
No, it doesn't happen very often
What we got here
What we got here

Word gets around
When you're down
Or when you're happy
People know
But I don't care
What people say
Cause today
Today I'm glad

Today I'm glad
And all the bad times
Seem almost worth it
Because they got me where I'm at
And where I'm at is pretty good
And I'm glad
Today I'm glad, yeah
Today I'm glad
Today I'm... I'm glad


In a lifetime time you take a lot of shit
Put in a lot of hours
A lot of things turn sour

In a lifetime
A lot of things come natural
A lot of things not so natural
A lot of things never come.

But what we got here
Doesn't happen very often
No, it doesn't happen very often
What we got here
What we got here

Nothing ever lasts
Take the past for instance
It's dead and gone
Nothing lasts for long

But today I'm glad
today I'm glad
Today I'm glad
Today I'm glad
Today I'm glad
Today I'm glad, yeah
Today I'm glad

Today I'm glad
And though tomorrow may be really lousy
And I may feel really crummy
Tomorrow is not today and i feel okay
i am glad
today I'm glad
today I'm glad

Glad, glad Glad, glad
Glad, glad Glad, glad
Glad, glad Glad, glad
Happy, glad happy, glad
Happy glad Happy glad
Glad happy Happy glad
Happy Glad happy
Oh, oh

Today I'm glad
Today I'm glad, yeah, really
Today I'm glad
Really glad

In a lifetime you wear a lot of socks
