    'The old man' in Howard Jones' "Life in One Day"  

    Just listen to all he says:

    "Life In One Day"

    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

    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


     
     



    (P.S. I like Sparks)
