Sometimes - Tom Williams

And oh how beautiful the cars on the Motorway

And how beautiful the mist in the trees

And oh how beautiful the tunnels in the mountains

And how beautiful the falling leaves

And I’m a coward and you know it

Always running from a fight

I’ve got coffee in the morning

And I’ve got whiskey late at night

And though I spend life singing sad songs

It’s only now I realise

That sometimes it’s just good to be alive

And oh how beautiful the seasons

Blowing through an endless year

The leaves that bud and flower

And then fall and disappear

And oh beautiful my darling

That you and I are still here

I sing to you in a hotel room

And whisper all my fears

But I’m a coward and you know it

Always running from a fight

I’ve got coffee in the morning

And I’ve got whiskey late at night

And though I spend life singing sad songs

It’s only now I realise

That sometimes it’s just good to be alive

When I get nervous I repeat myself

And when I’m tired I just complain

Running from the storm

Or hiding from the rain

One of these days

I’m going to prove to you what you mean to me

Maybe I’ll go and buy a ring

Maybe I’ll get down on one knee

But I’m a coward and you know it

Always running from a fight

I’ve got coffee in the morning

And I’ve got whiskey late at night

And though I spend life singing sad songs

It’s only now I realise

That sometimes it’s just good to be alive

And sometimes it’s just good to be alive
