The old man said to me said:  Don't always take life so seriously.  Play the flute and dance and sing your song.  Try and enjoy the here and now    The future will take care of itself somehow    The grass is never greener over there.  Time will wear away the stone  gets the hereditary bone.    Don't try to live your life in one day    Don't go speed your time away.  Don't try to live your life in one day    Don't go speed your time away.    The old man said to me    Said: You can't change the world single-handedly.  Raise a glass  enjoy the scenery    Pretend the water is champagne  and fill my glass again and again  While the wolves are gathering round your door.  Time will wear away the stone  gets the hereditary bone.  Don't try to live your life in one day  . . .  Don't try to live your life in one day  . . .    The old man said to me  said:  Don't always take life so seriously. . ..  I tried to live my life in one day    don't go speed your time away.  I bit off more than I can chew  only so much you can do.  Wolves are gathering round my door    ask them in and invite some more.  I tried to live my life in one day    don't go speed your time away.    Don't try to live your life in one day    Don't try to live your life in one day    Don't try to live your life in one day    Don't try to live your life in one day
