Bright Side of Down

Time takes almost everything
 Me and time will take my time
 I look around for things to bring
 To ease the way down the uphill climb
 On the bright side of down
 This side of the ground
 It's a long way around and around
 They say that time is slowed by speed
 But really that's not the way it seems
 Maybe the key is thoughtful words and deeds
 To open up the voices of your dreams
 On the bright side of down
 This side of the ground
 It's a long way around and around
 There are a few things we can pass along
 And maybe that will be enough
 Half the distance to the beautiful
 With some of the many ways to love
 On the bright side of down
 This side of the ground
 It's a long way around and around
 The bright side of down
 This side of the ground
 Long way around and around
 I've got to live a long, long time
 For eyes that light up everything they see
 Can't check out early like those friends of mine
 The faster you go the less you need
 The bright side of down
 This side of the ground
 It's a long way around and around
 The bright side of down
 This side of the ground
 It's a long way around and around
