Live the Life

You wrote it in your email that you're sad and lonely 'Cause a girl in college has stolen your heart And so my estimation of the situation Is I bet you can't stand being apart Listen, son, you gotta find a sense of perspective Ain't no use to bury your weight in the sand Although I kinda like your revolution of spirit You know you got to fall before you learn how to stand Nobody's gonna know what it's like To walk a mile in your shoes Satchmo sayin' it's a wonderful world But you make it it's up to you Let yourself fly, let yourself cry And years will disappear in the blink of an eye There's music in the air, it's to hold in your palms Then handle be heaven when she's in your arms So love the life you live And live the life you love Everybody here been asking about you "When's that boy of yours gonna be coming home?" And when I hear the bells ringing down at the school yard Kind of reminds me of when you were young You know you gotta polarize your concentration I know that girl of yours gonna understand Never underestimate the power of affection When you got the world in the palm of your hands Don't go looking for a pot of gold Or the light miracle mile Happiness lies in your old backyard Be talking it could take a while Walk down the aisle, with that big old smile Collect your diploma with your head up high Study with your soul, ten weeks left on We'll always remember, let the good times roll Another life you live And live the life you love, oh yeah Nobody's gonna know what it's like To walk a mile in your shoes Satchmo saying it's a wonderful world But what you make of it is up to you So walk by the lake hand in hand Try and see the sunset in the far away land Tell her that you love her, don't be afraid And keep every promise that you ever made And love the life you live Live the life you love, oh yeah Love the life you live And live the life you love You gotta love it You gotta love it Make the most of it, oh yeah You only got one chance So take it with your hands Love the life you live
