Everlasting Love
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

of the album Lie to me
Oh, there's got to be a change
things just can't stay the same
if I got any worse off
I'd have myself to blame
I've played the blues so long now
there ain't nothin' left for me to do
I just can't give it up
if I do my life would be through
Well now I've been to Kentucky, Chicago too
all over St. Louis, ain't nothin' left to do, baby
but I'll play the blues for you, yes I will
well I've been down to Texas
to the international revenue
I ain't got no mone
