The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it, there ain't nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill
But since we're on our way down we might as well enjoy the ride
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid, but don't let it stand in your way
Cause everyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while, we might as well show some style
Give us a smile, now
Isn't it a lovely ride
Sliding down and 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 all on your point of view, how does it feel to you
Einstein said that he could never understand it all
The planets spinning through space, the smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race
Isn't that a lovely ride
Sliding down and gliding down
Try not to try too hard, it's just a lovely ride
Isn't that a lovely ride
Sliding down and gliding down
Try not to try too hard, it's justs a lovely ride
Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
