|
The old man said to me |
|
Said don't always take life so seriously |
|
Play the flute |
|
And dance and sing your song |
|
Try and enjoy the here and now |
|
The future will take care of itself somehow |
|
The grass is never greener over there |
|
Time will wear away the stone |
|
Gets the hereditary bone |
|
Chorus |
|
Don't try to live your life in one day |
|
Don't go speed your time away |
|
Don't try to live your life in one day |
|
Don't go speed your time away |
|
The old man said to me |
|
Said you can't change the world single-handedly |
|
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery |
|
Pretend the water is champagne |
|
And fill my glass again and again |
|
While the wolves are gathering round your door |
|
Time will wear away the stone |
|
Gets the hereditary bone |
|
The old man said to me |
|
Said don't always take life so seriously |
|
Play the flute |
|
And dance and sing your song |
|
Try and enjoy the here and now |
|
The future will take care of itself somehow |
|
The grass is never greener over there |
|
Time will wear away the stone |
|
Gets the hereditary bone |
|
I tried to live my life in one day |
|
Don't go speed your time away |
|
I bit off more than i can chew |
|
Only so much you can do |
|
Wolves are gathering round my door |
|
Ask them in and invite some more |
|
I tried to live my life in one day |
|
Don't go speed your time away |
