Long As You're Living

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
 And that is why I pass it on to you
 Because it works so well for me
 And 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
 Long as you're living, always remember
 Time is for spending, but there's an ending
 While you are sleeping, lifetime's a-creeping
 Wake up and taste it, foolish to waste it
 Sample and savour all of life's flavour
 Long as you're living
 Long as you're living, always remember
 Folks who are lazy are playing crazy
 Better keep moving, keep on improving
 You won't be hurried after you're buried
 Live every minute, put yourself in it
 Long as you're living
 Long as you're living, always remember
 You'll never beat life, so don't try to cheat life
 Sisters and brother, do unto others
 Love's for enjoying, hate's for destroying
 Never forget it, or you'll regret it
 Long as you're living
 Forgive if I seem to preach...
