Good Life
Rafferty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the last rose in a world of despair
Shining like diamonds, she's walking on air
She is the girl with the sun in her hair
I want a taste of the good life
I wanna know how it feels to arrive
I wanna to hold you forever
The Good Life
And she is the girl with the sun in her hair
She walks the world without a care
I want to know how it feels to be there
Beside the girl with the sun in her hair
I want a taste of the good life
I want to know how it feels to arrive
I want to hold you forever
I want a taste of the Good Life
The Good Life
I dream of being the face on your page
So you don't become the one who got away
Believe Me, Don't leave me
I want a taste of the good life
I wanna know how it feels to arrive
I wanna hold you forever
I want a taste of the Good Life
The Good Life
The lyrics of Rafferty's song "Good Life" describe the desire for a life filled with joy and positivity, embodied by a woman the singer sees through a glass window. The world seems full of despair, but this woman stands out as a beacon of hope and light, walking with effortless grace and shining like diamonds. The singer longs to hold her and experience the same sense of goodness in his own life, dreaming of being the one she chooses and avoids becoming the one who got away.
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this desire for a taste of the good life, to know how it feels to truly arrive and be happy. The song is ultimately about the power of love to transform a person's life, and the hope that comes from seeing something beautiful and worth holding onto. In a world full of darkness and uncertainty, the girl with the sun in her hair represents a glimmer of hope and a pathway to a better life.
Overall, Rafferty's lyrics offer a poignant meditation on the human longing for happiness and connection, and the transformative power of love to bring these things into our lives. The imagery of the girl with the sun in her hair is a striking and memorable representation of this idea, and the song remains a powerful reminder of the importance of cherishing the good things in life.
