" LIFE IN ONE DAY "

BY: HOWARD JONES

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 heredity bone.

Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live you 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 and enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne

And fill my glass again and again
While wolves are gathering round your door
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the heredity bone.

Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live you life in one day
Don't go speed your time away

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 heredity bone.

I tried to live my life in one day
(Don't go speed your time away)

I bit off my then I could 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 go speed your time away
Don't try to live you life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
