Lyrics Livin' - Carmen McRae, Sonny Lester

Livin'

Never saw the sun rise
Or the sun go down
Busy keeping covered
In case the rain
Causing pain
Never sought to doubt it
Never thought there might be more about it
Than just scuffling through the everyday
Worrying about next week
Never stopped to listen
Never missed a chance to speak
Livin' ain’t been easy
Since time began
Dying is just the final rotten break
Funny how time flies
Till too late my friend you realize
That livin' ain’t so hard to take
Never sought to doubt it
Never thought there might be more about it
Than just scuffling through the everyday
Worrying about next week
Never stopped to listen
Never missed a chance to speak
Livin' ain’t been easy
Since time began
Dying is just the final rotten break
Funny how time flies
Till too late my friend you realize
That livin' ain’t so bad
Shoud’ve felt more glad
Cause livin' ain’t so hard to take
I said livin' ain’t so bad
Should’ve felt more glad
Cause livin' ain’t so hard to take
