Lyrics

Siesta (feat. Emeli Sandé)

You've got one life to live
So why not give it all that you can give
Don't let the pressure crush you
Don't ever let them rush you

Take your time
Take your time

Yes you've got one life to live
So give it all that you can give
Don't let the pressure crush you
Don't ever let them rush you

Take your time
Take your time

Well everyone on earth has right to walk on their own path
Let go of the shackles of your future and your past
The present is a present and the only thing that lasts
So why not make more time in life
To love to laugh to dance?
To love to laugh to dance

Cos you've got one life to live
So give it all that you can give
Don't let the pressure crush you
Don't ever let them rush you

Take your time
Oh baby
Take your time

Be kinder to yourself you too deserve a second chance
Life is bold and life is now and life is true romance
Jump into the moment and make sure you make a splash
Cos while you're sitting stressing God is laughing at your plans

People not always good
Skies not always blue
But every day you should
Be feeling brand brand new

Time flies enjoy the ride
One day comes final night
Keep the morning in your sight
And you gon' be you gon' be alright

Alright, alright, alright

Cos you got one life to live
So give it all that you can give
Don't let the pressure crush you
Don't ever let them rush you

Take your time
Take your time
Baby it's your time now
Take your time

Yes you got one life to live
So give it all that you can give
Don't let the pressure crush you
Don't ever let them rush you

Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time

Now now

I love to love
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
I love to love to dance
I love to love to dance
I love to live to laugh
I love my life I love my life
I love
