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
CHORUS: 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
CHORUS
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
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
