secret o' life

Singer:james taylor

the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. any fool can do it

there ain't nothing to it. nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill. but since we're on our way down

we might as well enjoy the ride. the secret of love is in opening up your heart. it's okay to feel afraid

but don't let that stand in your way. cause anyone knows that love is the only road. and since we're only here for a while

might as well show some style. give us a smile. isn't it a lovely ride? sliding down

gliding down

try not to try too hard

it's just a lovely ride. now the thing about time is that time isn't really real. it's just your point of view

how does it feel for you?

einstein said he could never understand it all. planets spinning through space

the smile upon your face

welcome to the human race. some kind of lovely ride. i'll be sliding down

i'll be gliding down. try not to try too hard

it's just a lovely ride. isn't it a lovely ride? sliding down

gliding down

try not to try too hard

it's just a lovely ride. the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
