You wrote it in your email that you're sad and lonely 'Cause a girl in college has stolen your heart And so my estimation of the situation Is I bet you can't stand being apart Listen son you goin' to find a sense of perspective Ain't no use to bury your weight in the sand Although I kinda like your revolutionary spirit You know you got to fall before you learn how to stand Nobody's gonna know what it's like To walk a mile in your shoes Sachmo sang it's a wonderful world What you make of it is up to you Let yourself fly, let yourself cry And years will disappear in a blink of an eye There's music in your head, it holds onto your plans it'll be be heaven when shes in your arms So love the life you live And live the life you love Everybody here has been asking about you When's that boy of yours gonna be coming home And when I hear the bells ringing down at the school yard Kinda reminds me of when you were young You know you gotta polarize your concentration I know that girl of yours gonna understand Never underestimate the power of affection When you got the world in the palm of your hands Don't go looking for the pot of gold Or the light miracle mile Happiness lies in your own backyard But finding it could take a while Walk down the aisle, with that big old smile Collect your diploma with your head up high Study with your soul,to reach that goal But always remember, let the good times roll And love the life you live And live the life you love Nobody's gonna know what it's like To walk a mile in your shoes Sachmo sang it's a wonderful world What you make of it is up to you So walk by the lake hand in hand Try and see the sunset in the foriegn land Tell her you love her don't be afraid And keep every promise that you ever made And love the life you live Live the life you love Love the life you live Live the life you love You gotta love it You gotta love it Make the most of it You only got one chance So take it with your hands Love the life you live.
