Why Not Stop & Dig It While You Can Songtext
von Barry McGuire

I can′t let a little moment pass in misery of despair
I'll dig the things I do and I′ll do just what I dare
Say I can't hold on to the past the future's coming on to fast
I think I′ll stop and dig it while I′m here
Yeah why not stop and dig it while I'm here


Yeah nothing here is mine to keep so why do I hang on
Everything that I have now will be here when I′m gone
I can't change the world too fast
They′re still living in the past
I think I'll stop and dig it from now on
Yeah why not stop and dig it from now on

I can′t let you tie my up or make me play your games
But just in case you're wondering I love you just the same
I said nothing here is yours to keep
A shallow grave is still top deep
To enjoy the things that you once held so dear
So why not stop and dig it while you're here
Yeah why not stop and dig it while you′re here
