I 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 II The secret of love is in opening up your heart It's okay to feel afraid But don't let that stand in your way Cause anyone knows that love is the only road And since we're only here for a while We might as well show some style C’mon, give us a smile Isn't it a lovely ride Sliding down, Gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride III Now the thing about time is that time Isn't really real It's just your point of view How does it feel for you Einstein said he could never understand it all Planets spinning through space The smile upon your face Now welcome to the human race Chorus II Isn’t it a lovely ride Oh, I'll be sliding down, I'll be gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Chorus III Some kind of lovely ride Oh yes tonight…I’ll be sliding down See me 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
