HOWARD JONES - Life In One Day lyrics

rate me

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