I was walking down a city street on a shady afternoon
With the trucks and buses all hurrying by, I couldn't get away too soon
Suddenly I heard a sound, it hit me from behind
It was a man singing in a yellow van, "I feel so good inside."
I feel so happy just to be alive
I feel so good, so good, I feel so good inside
I feel so happy just to be alive
I feel so good, so good, I feel so good inside
Well, you know I smiled, what could I do, he took me by surprise
And he made the sun shine a little brighter and he opened up my eyes
He kept on singing as he drove away with the window open wide
And I laugh every time I think of him and I feel so good inside
I feel so happy just to be alive
I feel so good, so good, I feel so good inside
I feel so happy just to be alive
I feel so good, so good, I feel so good inside
It was just an ordinary day, nothing special to recall
With the usual ups and downs that happen to us all
But it took that man in the yellow van to make me realise
We've got to pay attention to the little things that make you feel so good inside
I feel so happy just to be alive
I feel so good, so good, I feel so good inside
I feel so happy just to be alive
I feel so good, so good, I feel so good inside
