Lady in the Dark movie - ONE LIFE TO LIVE lyrics

rate me

<br>

There are many minds in circulation<br>

Believing in reincarnation<br>

In me you see one who doesn't agree<br>

Challenging possible affronts<br>

I believe I'll only live once<br>

And I want to make the most of it<br>

If there's a party I want to be the host of it<br>

If there's a haunted house I want to be the ghost of it<br>

If I'm in town I want to be the toast of it<br>

I say to me every morning<br>

You've only one life to live<br>

So why be done in?<br>

Let's see the sun in<br>

And gloom can jump in the river<br>

No use to beat on the doldrums<br>

Let's be imaginative, each day is numbered<br>

No good when slumbered<br>

With only one life to live<br>

Why let the goblins upset you?<br>

One smile and see how they run<br>

And what does worrying get you?<br>

Nothing, the thing is to have fun<br>

All this may sound kind of hackneyed<br>

But it's the best I can give<br>

Soon comes december<br>

So please remember<br>

You've only one life to live<br>

Just one life to live<br>

<br>

She says to her every morning<br>

She's only one month to live<br>

So why be done in?<br>

Let's let the sunshine in<br>

And gloom can jump in the river<br>

<br>

What you collect at the grindstone<br>

Becomes a millstone in time<br>

This is my thesis:<br>

Why go to pieces?<br>

Step one while you're in your prime<br>

You may say that I'm an escapist<br>

But I would rather by far be that<br>

Than be a red tapist<br>

Lead me, speed me, straight to the bar<br>

Just laugh at old man repression<br>

And send him into oblivion<br>

Then you're the winner<br>

I'm off to dinner<br>

I've only one life to live<br>

Just one life to live <br>

<br>
