As Long as You're Living - Cyrille Aimée

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…
