Howard Jones Life In One Day Lyrics

Life In One Day Lyrics

LIFE IN ONE DAY
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 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

Don't try to live your life in one
day
