The Bridge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't drink as much as I used to
Lately it just ain't my style
And the hard times don't hurt like they used to
They pass quicker like when I was a child
Somehow I learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic that morning is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
The midsummer days ain't so heavy
They just flow like the breeze through your mind
And nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for some old lost time
Somehow I learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic that morning is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
Somehow I learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic that morning is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
