LIFE BEGINS AGAIN
(Bud Flanagan / Charles Wilmott)


Flanagan & Allen - 1935
Jack Hylton & His Orch. (vocal: Pat O'Malley) - 1935





I was so demented
Thought my life had ended
Thought it was all in vain
Now I realise that life begins again

I was full of sorrow
No thought of tomorrow
Night and day were just the same
Now I realise that life begins again

Tears stood on my eyelids
Then came tumbling down
I felt like Punchinello
That brokenhearted clown

Then came the dawn
A new day was born
The Sun came smiling through the rain
When I realised that life began again
