Long As You're Living lyrics

Forgive me if I seem to preach

But there is something that I want to say

A message that I hope will reach

People who are throwin' life away

I call it my philosophy

That is why I pass it on to you

Because it works so well for me

It helps me get away from strife

Hope you listen carefully

They say the truth will make you free

And that's the way you wanna be

'Cause, brother, this is your life!

As long as you're livin'

Always remember

Time is for spendin'

But there's an endin'

While you are sleepin'

Life is a-creepin'

Wake up and taste it

Foolish to waste it

Sample and savor

All of life's flavor

As long as you're livin'

As long as you're livin'

Always remember

Folks who are lazy

Are playin' crazy

You better keep movin'

Keep on improvin'

You won't be hurried

After you're buried

Live every minute

And put yourself in it

As long as you're livin'

As long as you're livin'

Always remember

You'll never beat life

Don't try to cheat life

Sisters and brothers

Do unto others

Love's for enjoyin'

Hate's for destroyin'

Never forget it

Or you'll regret it

As long as you're livin'

Forgive me if I seem to preach

But there is something that I have to say

A message that I hope will reach

People who are throwin' life away

I call it my philosophy

That is why I pass it on to you

Because it works so well for me

It helps me get away from strife

Hope you listen carefully

They say the truth will make you free

And that's the way you wanna be

'Cause, sister, this is your life!
