The Door Swings Both Ways Lyrics

(Thomas/Levitt)

 Everyones life is bittersweet
 It`s a door that opens wide
 And no man can call himself complete
 Till he`s seen it from both sides

 This door swings both ways
 It`s marked `In` and `Out`
 Some days you`ll want to cry
 And some days you will shout

 This door swings both ways
 It goes back and forth
 In comes a southern breeze
 Or a cold wind from the north

 This door swings both ways
 Lets in joy and pain
 In comes the morning sun
 And then the evening rain

 This door swings both ways
 Lets in dark and light
 Every day you make the choice
 To let in wrong or right

 When shadows fall
 You must prepare yourself for sunshine
 For everything there is an end
 And so my friend you must be brave

 This door swings both ways
 Which one will it be
 Will we live in happiness
 Or dwell in misery

 This door swings both ways
 Lets in earth and sky
 Make the most of livin`
 If you`re not prepared to die
 Make the most of livin`
 If you`re not prepared to die
