James Taylor
Secret o’ Life - Live at the Colonial Theatre
Well the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ain't nothin' 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 it stand in your way, No now
Cuz everyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for awhile
We might as well show some style
Give us a smile now
(Chorus)
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, and
Gliding down, and
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
The thing about time is that time isn't really real
It's all on your point of view
How does it feel to you in there, and
Einstein said that you could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race
(Chorus)
Isn't that a lovely ride
Oh la la yes
See me sliding down and gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time...
