Long as You're Living (From "Abbey Is Blue") |
| 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 THROWING 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 |
| I HOPE YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY — THEY SAY THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE |
| AND THAT’S THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE — 'CAUSE BROTHER THIS IS YOUR LIFE |
| (II) |
| LONG AS YOU’RE LIVIN' - ALWAYS REMEMBER |
| TIME IS FOR SPENDIN' - BUT THERE’S AN ENDING |
| WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPIN' - LIFETIME IS CREEPIN' |
| WAKE UP AND TASTE IT — FOOLISH TO WASTE IT |
| SAMPLE AND SAVOR — ALL OF IT’S FLAVOR |
| LONG AS YOU’RE LIVIN'… |
| (III) |
| LONG AS YOU’RE LIVIN' - ALWAYS REMEMBER |
| FOLKS WHO ARE LAZY — ARE PLAYING CRAZY |
| BETTER KEEP MOVIN' - KEEP ON IMPROVIN' |
| YOU WON’T BE HURRIED — AFTER YOU’RE BURIED |
| LIVE EVERY MINUTE — PUT YOURSELF IN IT |
| LONG AS YOU’RE LIVIN'… |
| (IV) |
| LONG AS YOU’RE LIVIN' - ALWAYS REMEMBER |
| YOU’LL NEVER BEAT LIFE — DON’T TRY TO CHEAT LIFE |
| ALL IN ARE BROTHERS — DO UNTO OTHERS |
| LOVE’S FOR ENJOYING -HATE'S FOR DESTROYING |
| NEVER FORGET IT — OR YOU’LL REGRET IT |
| LONG AS YOUR LIVIN… |
| 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 THROWING 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 |
| I HOPE YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY — THEY SAY THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE |
