Lyrics
This Is Paradise
Looking out my window
At the clouds in the sky
It's so peaceful
Watching the world go by
Sunlight on the water
Breezes in the trees
This is it
This is paradise
I want to stay
For the rest of my life
But I have to go
Back to the hustle
Back to the strife
Why, I really don't know
There's lot's of time for fishing
Lot's of time to read
Time to watch
The kids playing in the sand
Visit with my neighbors
Visit with my friends
Plant a garden
Lend a helping hand
Repeat Chorus
I want to live
A more simple life
One of these days
Work with my hands
Sleep with my wife
There's got to be a way
Don't you ever wonder
What you do it for?
Run the race
Pay the price
Maybe it's tomorrow
Maybe it's next year
This is it
This is paradise
Repeat Chorus
