Life In One Day Lyrics
The song Life In One Day is performed by Howard Jones in the album named Dream Into Action in the year 1990 .
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 gra*s 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 gla*s enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne
And fill my gla*s 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 gra*s 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
