Barry McGuire — Why Not Stop and Dig It While You Can?

[Verse 1] Ah, I can't let a moment pass in misery or despair I'll dig the things I do, and I'll do just what I dare Say, I can't hold on to the past The future's comin' on too fast I think I'll stop and dig it while I'm here Yeah, why not stop and dig it while I'm here? [Verse 2] Yeah, nothin' here is mine to keep, so why do I hang on? Everything that I have now will be here when I'm gone I can't change the world too fast They're still livin' in the past So, I think I'll stop and dig it from now on Yeah, why not stop and dig it from now on? [Kazoo Solo] [Verse 3] I can't let you tie my up or make me play your games But just in case you're wonderin' I love you just the same I said nothin' here is yours to keep A shallow grave is still too deep To enjoy the things that you once held so dear So why not stop and dig it while you're here? Yeah, why not stop and dig it while you're here?
