An old man said
"Live one day at a time
Who can add a day to his life by worrying?"

Though we're young
We've seen what worry can do
So embrace the worried songs we sing to you

So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn
So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn

We ought to sing
When we lie in our beds
In the quiet hour
We remember what he said

But we're young
And we've seen what worry can do
So embrace the worried hearts we bring to you

So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn
So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn

So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn
So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn

So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn
So mournful the elegy
And so comforting the hymn
