lyrics

November 27, 55
She said John what have we done as they pulled into the drive
And with a quiet smile he said through gentle eyes,
its another gift of life and it's a great day to be alive

November 27, 71
I've been waiting sixteen years he said and now my time has come
She was a hard top in cherry red a 1965
And you could hear us all across town with the windows rolled down singin' its a great day to be alice

It's a great day to be alive
From the moment that I opened up my eyes
It's a great day to be alive
And I'm living in the best year of my life

November 27, 82
Just a few days shy now of wrapping our baby up in blue
Skip ahead four years through all the fears of making one last dive,
Into the water to be another boys father knowing its a great day to be alive

It's a great day to be alive
From the moment that you opened up your eyes
It's a great day to be alive
And I'm living in the best year of my life

Oh how the time it goes by
In the blink of an eye, there goes half your life
Oh but far from our goodbyes
Gonna spend the next fifty years, through all the joy and the tears,
Waiting for the moments of our lives
When it was a great day to be alive

November 27, Its half past nine
Thinking bout the last fifty years I've all but left behind
But look at me now at what I've got with all that's going right
After every night there's a warm sunrise bringing
Another great day to be alive
