Life Can Have Meaning

John D. Loudermilk


I arrived in what they call a city 
And went to a place called "hotel" 
And got myself what is gener'lly called a room 
I turned on the well-known T.V. 
And watched what they call a show 
Till midnight when they signed off with just a tune 

Then I walked down a thing called "side-walk" 
And went in a place called "cafe" 
And told them that it didn't matter 
Long as it resembled food 
And when I was drinkin' a drink that is known as coffee 
She walked in and all at once I knew... 

Life can have meaning, life can have meaning 
Life can have meaning, whenever you're in love 

Now I'm walking down the Brownsville Boulevard 
to the Brownsville Imperial Palace Hotel 
In a quaint little, lovely Brownsville, U.S.A. 
I know I won't be able to sleep 
Though I'm staying in the Executive suite 
'Cause I'm meeting her tomorrow at the Brownsville cafe 

Boy, the moon is bright tonight 
Not a cloud anywhere in sight 
And it's warm and the folks all speak 
When they pass by 
What a wonderful thing it is 
That just one little kiss 
Can open your eyes and make you realize... 

Life can have meaning, life can have meaning 
Life can have meaning, whenever you're in love
