いわゆる「最高の生活」を満喫するのにはなんらかの資格がいるのではないでしょうか？例えば人付き合いが好きだとか人当たりがいいだとかの。 I think there must be some quality to enjoy so called 'a good life', such as being pretty sociable and good at communicating with others. The Good Life (Tony Bennett)
[Verse 1] Oh, the good life Full of fun, seems to be the ideal Mm, the good life Lets you hide all the sadness you feel You won't really fall in love For you can't take the chance So please be honest with yourself Don't try to fake romance
[Verse 2] It's the good life To be free and explore the unknown Like the heartaches When you learn you must face them alone Please remember, I still want you And in case you wonder why Well, just wake up Kiss the good life, goodbye

[Pre-Chorus: JayDon] I’ll give you clear direction Under my protection We’ve been through the lessons I’ll be damned if they wanna test it It’s straight now that we up, but we held each other down Wanna wake up to you in the morning for the rest of my life
[Chorus: JayDon] And I-I-I, I sleep at night Cause you’re by my side (you’re by my side baby) You’re my lullaby I close my eyes, to your lullaby
