  • Here I go out to sea again
    The sunshine fills my hair
    And dreams hang in the air
    Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye
    You know it feels unfair
    There's magic everywhere
    Look at me standing
    Here on my own again
    Up straight in the sunshine

    No need to run and hide
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life
    No need to laugh and cry
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life

    The sun's in your eyes
    the heat is in your hair
    They seem to hate you
    because you're there
    And I need a friend
    oh I need a friend
    to make me happy
    Not stand here on my own
    Look at me standing
    Here on my own again
    Up straight in the sunshine

    No need to run and hide
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life
    No need to laugh and cry
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life

    I need a friend, oh I need a friend
    To make me happy, not so alone
    Look at me here
    Here on my own again
    Up straight in the sunshine

    No need to run and hide
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life
    No need to laugh and cry
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life

    No need to run and hide
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life
    No need to laugh and cry
    It's a wonderful, wonderful life
