"Lenge leve livet" ("Long live life", English title: "Life Was Meant for Living") was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984, performed in Norwegian by Dollie de Luxe.

In the song, the duo sings the praises of life. They explain that it makes sense to live to the full, because nobody knows for sure what the future - or indeed the afterlife - will bring.

The song was performed fifth on the night, following Spain's Bravo with "Lady, Lady" and preceding the United Kingdom's Belle & The Devotions with "Love Games". At the close of voting, it had received 29 points, placing 17th in a field of 19.

It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1985 contest by Bobbysocks with "La det swinge".
