"When You're Loving, You're Living" lyrics

When You're Loving, You're Living

When you're living and you're loving
There's a smile upon your face
You'll sing louder and you're prouder
You belong to the human race

You'll be spritely going nightly
At the age of ninety-five
If you're loving then you're living
And it's great to be alive

If you're living and you're loving
Life can be a lot of fun
Things behind you just can't find you
Makes no difference what you've done

What passion rages turn the pages
And don't let old age arrive
When you're loving then you're living
And it's great to be alive

When you're living then be given
All the things that's good and true
For your favor you'll find later
That it all comes back to you

You'll be singing bells are ringing
And your blues will take a dive
When you're loving and you're living
And it's great to be alive

If you're not kissing then you're missing
All the things that's nice and sweet
I can't feature any creature
With the life so incomplete

So let's look yonder hopes are fonder
And don't love we can survive
When you're loving then you're living
And it's great to be alive
