Secret o’ Life Songtext
von James Taylor

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, no
'Cause everyone knows that love is the only road
And since we′re only here for a while, yeah
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 for you in there?
Einstein said thhat he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race, yeah

Isn′t that a lovely ride? Oh yeah
Sliding down and gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Isn′t that a lovely ride?
Mama yes, see me sliding down and gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
