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
AND THAT’S THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE — 'CAUSE BROTHER THIS IS YOUR LIFE
