Song Description
This was actually a quick demo after I wrote the music to Ronda'a excellent lryrics. There's something about "first" takes that capture that freshness you were after, so despite the mistakes I decided to use this take for my submissions to Taxi..... I can actually hear this being performed in a few different styles such as bluegrass, folk, traditional country or country rock but I used a simple country folk style for the intimacy of the message.

Lyrics
?A GOOD LIFE?
This silver bracelet was the first thing that I gave you
This golden ring was the last
And all those pictures in between
How they faded so fast
This TV we use to sit in front of
That radio that we dance to
All these things around here remind me
About that day I lost you
{Chorus}
It was A Good Life with you
One day I?ll be able to
Forgive that Angel that took you away
From me and the Good Life
It was A Good Life with you
One day I?ll be able to
Live those memories without those tears
And I?ll smile on A Good Life.
My bags are packed and I?m almost out the door
Tears streaming down my face
I can?t look back on those memories
I just have to walk away
{Chorus}
It was A Good Life with you
One day I?ll be able to
Forgive that Angel that took you away
From me and the Good Life
It was A Good Life with you
One day I?ll be able to
Live those memories without those tears
And I?ll smile on A Good Life.
