[Verse 1]
When I was a little girl
I used to have a dream
Now that I'm older
I wake up to find it isn't as good as reality
Cause you are here with me
I was wishing on a star out in the universe
Now that I'm wiser I finally find
That all I need is here on Earth
Cause you are here with me

[Chorus]
Oh, I, I take a breath in and realise
That I'm, I'm living the good life

[Verse 2]
Thinking back to long ago, you were the mystery
All of the visions that I ever had
Could never live up to what I see
Cause you are here with me

[Chorus]
Oh, I, I take a breath in and realise
That I'm, I'm living the good life
The good life
I'm living the good life
The good life
The good, the good, the good
The good, the good life
The good, the good, the good
The good, the good life
The good, the good, the good
The good, the good life
The good, the good, the good
The good, the good life

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
