Well it seems these days everybody's in a hurry
First to get the worm them birds are losin' their minds
Well I can say I don't like wakin' up that early
The only way to live is when I'm takin my time
'Cause life's too short to live it too fast
I can't smell a rose I've already passed
I've learned one lesson to lessen the sorrow
If it's a good idea today it will be a good idea tomorrow
Now I ain't sayin' hard work is no good
We've all got to pull the weight that's on our backs
There's just one thing to remember if we could
All work and no play don't make jack
'Cause life's too short to live it too fast
I can't smell a rose I've already passed
I've learned one lesson to lessen the sorrow
If it's a good idea today it will be a good idea tomorrow
'Cause what's the use in livin', if we ain't livin'
Slow that engine down and enjoy the ride
'Cause there ain't no stoppin' that clock from tickin'
So love the ones you love while you've got the time
'Cause life's too short to live it too fast
I can't smell a rose I've already passed
I've learned one lesson to lessen the sorrow
If it's a good idea today it will be a good idea tomorrow
If it's a good idea today it will be a good idea tomorrow
(Life's too short)
Good idea tomorrow
(Life's too short)
Good idea tomorrow
(Life's too short)
Good idea tomorrow
