Lyrics
Smiling in the Face of Certain Death
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.
People ask me why,
I'm such a happy smiling guy,
and with a wink and a nod,
I issue my reply.
I wave, smile and say each hello,
as if it were my last goodbye,
because someday, perhaps soon,
we're all bound to die.
One by one, or all at once.
it's a fact of life, and not a hunch.
So why live a life full of regrets,
unpaid respects and things unsaid.
I learned so long ago
to make the best of things
because nothing lasts forever
not even your friends
your friends
your friends
your friends
