The Divine Comedy - Absent Friends

When I hold you in my arms,

And look back on my charmed-

life

My charmed life

I hope, I hope if nothing more

That one day you’ll call your-

Life

A charmed life


Well I never really worried that much

About making lots of money and such

And I always seemed to land on my feet.

Though there’s been some difficult times

The good times where never far behind

I snatched all of my victories from the jaws of defeat


When I hold you in my arms,

And look back on my charmed-

life

My charmed life

I hope, I hope if nothing more

That one day you’ll call your-

Life

A charmed life


Well the course of true love never ran smooth

They broke my heart, and I broke theirs too

And breaking up was so very hard to do

But I knew I’d find the one

And sure enough she came along

And not long after that along came you


Well sometimes this life is like being afloat

On a raging sea in a little row boat

Just trying not to be washed overboard

But if you take your chances and you ride your luck

And you never, never, never, never, never give up

Well those waves will see you safely to a friendly shore


When I hold you in my arms,

I know that this is a charmed-

life

A charmed life
When I hold you in my arms,

And look back on my charmed-

life

My charmed life

I hope, I hope if nothing more

That one day you’ll call your-

Life

A charmed life


Well I never really worried that much

About making lots of money and such

And I always seemed to land on my feet.

Though there’s been some difficult times

The good times where never far behind

I snatched all of my victories from the jaws of defeat


When I hold you in my arms,

And look back on my charmed-

life

My charmed life

I hope, I hope if nothing more

That one day you’ll call your-

Life

A charmed life


Well the course of true love never ran smooth

They broke my heart, and I broke theirs too

And breaking up was so very hard to do

But I knew I’d find the one

And sure enough she came along

And not long after that along came you


Well sometimes this life is like being afloat

On a raging sea in a little row boat

Just trying not to be washed overboard

But if you take your chances and you ride your luck

And you never, never, never, never, never give up

Well those waves will see you safely to a friendly shore


When I hold you in my arms,

I know that this is a charmed-

life

A charmed life
