Howard Jones Life In The One Day
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.
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.
Don't try to live your life in one day
. . .
Don't try to live your life in one day
. . .
The old man said to me
said:
Don't always take life so seriously. . ..
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.
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't try to live your life in one day
