Steve Winwood Take It As It Comes Lyrics

Raise the window on another day
 Take it as it comes
 Just an actor waiting for a new play
 Take it as it comes

 Ask me to dance, I will dance for you
 Ask me to sing, see what I do
 If you feel sad, I'll make jokes for you
 I'm a handyman, I'm still coming through

 If you suffer from a broken heart
 Take it as it comes
 If your love^Rr tears your world all apart
 Got to take it as it comes

 I've played a king and a down and out fool
 Some like it hot, and some like it cool
 Do what they want, but don't be their tool
 Savor the throne, but don't mind the stool

 Carry on, carry on, carry on...

 If they go too far, that's the way things are
 Though it may hurt
 We're all skating on the thinnest of ice
 Got to take it as it comes
 In a world that is not so very nice
 Got to take it as it comes

 And day now the curtain may fall
 All the plays end, there's no curtain call
 If you live sad, or it you walk tall
 We're written on wind that's a lot to haul

 Carry on, carry on, carry on...

 If they go too far, that's the way things are
 Though your mind gets numb, take it as it comes
 We're all skating on the thinnest of ice
 Got to take it as it comes
 In a world that is not so very nice
 Got to take it as it comes

 An^Y^Yy day now the curtain may fall
 All the plays end, there's no curtain call
 If you live sad, or if you walk tall
 We're written on wind that's a lot to haul

 Carry on, carry on, carry on...

 If the^Yy go too far, that's the way things are
 Though your mind gets numb, take it^A as itcomes

 If they go too far, that's the way things are
 If they break your thumbs, take it as it comes
