Glen Campbell – I Wanna Live Lyrics

Flowers have blooms
The ocean has waves
The sky has clouds
People have babes
I want to live
Till I get old
I want to watch all of this grow
I want to live, live and let live
I want all the love this life has to give
I want to smile and be friendly with you
I want to live and let you live some too

Rover is big, Tabby is small
Betty is short, Jimmy is tall
They want to live, live and let live
They want all the love this life has to give
They want to smile and be friendly with you
They want to live and let you live some too
We want to live, but don’t you
