You can watch the flowers bloom
one by one
you can watch the grass blades grow
or have fun
you can kick the ball real slow
or run with us
You can dance a fast tango
or walk right past
I'm just telling you right now
enjoy life while you can
They say life's too short to be stupid
they say life's too short to lose friends
they say life's too short to hold grudges
so why don't you just make amends?
enjoy life while you can
you've only got
55 years more or so
don't use them up too fast
let the laughs fly, the tears flow
life's beautiful
enjoy life while you can
and laugh right through
don't get ahead of yourself now
patienence has its own rewards
you don't eat the fruit before it's ripe
and you don't head a ram with no horns
remember to whisper to the trees once in awhile
and never be afraid to throw a smile
take risks like candy
just don't kill yourself
why do they say life's short anyway?
it's the longest thing that they know
still, life's too short to be all sad
and life's too short not to smile
they say life's too short to stay too still
so get up and dance once in awhile
You can watch the flowers bloom
one by one
you can watch the grass blades grow
or have fun
you can kick the ball real slow
or run with us
You can dance a fast tango
or walk right past
I'm just telling you now
enjoy life while you can
enjoy life while you can
