Lyrics
The Secret O'Life
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.
The secret of life is enjoying the passing of time
There ain't nothin' to it
All you gotta do is do it
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill
Since we're on our way down
Might as well enjoy the ride
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
So don't let that stand in your way
'Cause everybody knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Hey hey hey, give us a smile
Isn't it a lovely, 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 in space
The smile upon your face
Well, welcome to the human race
Isn't it a lovely, lovely ride
Sliding down, gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely...
Lovely, 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 passing of time
