Peter Allen (10 February 1944 – 18 June 1992) was an Australian songwriter and entertainer. His songs were made popular by many recording artists, including Elkie Brooks, Melissa Manchester and Olivia Newton-John, with one, "Arthur's Theme", winning an Academy Award in 1981. In addition to recording many albums, he enjoyed a cabaret and concert career, including appearing at Radio City Music Hall riding a camel. His marriage to Liza Minnelli ended in divorce, and culminated his heterosexual guise. He subsequently proclaimed his homosexual desires and publicly entered a gay relationship with Gregory Connell that lasted until Connell's death, 15 years later.
Peter Allen was born Peter Richard Woolnough in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. He was the grandson of George Woolnough, whom Allen immortalised in his song "Tenterfield Saddler". Allen began his performing career with Chris Bell as one of the "Allen Brothers", who were a popular cabaret and television act in the early 1960s in Australia. Mark Herron, the husband of Judy Garland, discovered Allen while he was performing in Hong Kong. He was invited to return with them to London and the United States, where he performed with Garland.[citation needed]

Genres: Action, Drama,I'm a happy man
I made my choice in life
I chose to settle down
I chose to take a wife
And I take pleasure in my quiet
Hearth and happy home
I never gave my heart
Its chance to roam
I could have been a sailor
And sailed the seven seas
The wind in my face all day
Can you taste the salty breeze?
I could have been a lover
Watchin' waves before me part
But I settled for safer harbors of my heart
I'm a lucky man
I'm the envy of my peers
I never ask for favors
Oh, and I never show my fears
Surrounded by too many friends
I am a one-man band
With all the trappings of a life
Lived second-hand
I could have been a sailor
Rollin' through the night
My sails before the wind
Where the star's my only light
I could have been a dreamer
Yeah, but dreams just fall apart
So, I settled for safer harbors of my heart
And I take pleasure in my quiet
Hearth and happy home
I never gave my heart
Its chance to roam
I could have been a sailor
And sailed the seven seas
Is the wind in your face all day
And can you taste the salty breeze?
I could have been a dreamer
And watch the waves before me part
But I settled for safer harbors
Oh, sailor, sailed the seven seas
Is the wind in your face all day?
I can taste the salty breeze
Oh lover, I can see the waves before you part
