James Taylor — Secret o Life Live on SNL

Well, the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time Any fool can do it There ain't nothing to it Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill But since we're on our way down We might as well enjoy the ride The secret of love is in opening up your heart It's okay to feel afraid But don't let it stand in your way, no no Because everyone knows that love is the only road And since we're only here for a while We might as well show some style Give us a smile now Isn't it a lovely ride? Sliding down, gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Now the thing about time is that time isn't really real It's all on your point of view How does it feel for you in there? Einstein said that you could never understand it all Planets spinning through space The smile upon your face Welcome to the human race, now Isn't that a lovely ride? Oh, yeah Sliding down it Gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Isn't that a lovely ride? Ohh, la la, yes See me sliding down And gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
