lyrics

The leaves fall in Autumn, but there’s blossom come Spring

I’m stating the obvious but oh my, how time changes every little thing

We’re not getting younger and maybe this life is all that we get

We’re searching for Heaven but none of us have found it yet

But I’ve always been a believer in making the most of what’s here

So when you’re tossed on life’s seas by tempestuous breezes

You cling to the things you hold dear

We all need companionship, we all need a friend

We all want much more than that but most of us fall short in the end

So will you come gambling with me, well I know we’ll be taking a risk

But sometimes you’ve got to face danger just to know you exist

If we don’t seize these opportunities then I know I’ll never forget it

‘cause I don’t wanna pass by, I don’t wanna ask why

And dear God I don’t wanna regret it

‘cause I know, I know I’m handful, yeah, I when I sing it’s not quite in key

And I know that when you picture perfection, well I guess it looks nothing like me

But take a chance, what’s the worst that could happen

Well at worst you’ll have made a mistake

But mistakes, they’re what we all learn from

And that’s a chance that I’m willing to take

So I’ll state with ironic conviction yeah, that I believe I’ve got the whole world to give

If we’re all that we’ve got why not give it a shot

Because the most important thing to do is live

To do is live

To do is live

To do is live

To do is...
