Sing a happy song   'Cause spring does not last long   A flower blooms and then it's gone      Summer follows fast   Make hay while it lasts   Don't ever dwell upon the past      (Chorus)   For one day you are here   And the next you are gone   Every horse has its year   And every dog its day, my son   So the only thing to feel sad about is   All the dogs and the horses you'll have to outlive   They'll be with you when you say good-bye      Then the fall from grace   The lines upon your face   Grow deeper almost every...      Days and weeks roll by   And winter nights draw nigh   And everything that lives must die   (Repeat Chorus)      Goodbye...      But as the curtains close and the last prayers are said   All my dogs and my horses appear round my bed   They have come to say one last goodbye   Goodbye
