Carolyn Arends - Seize The Day (Live Duet) Lyrics
I know a girl who was schooled in ManhattanShe reads dusty books and learns phrases in LatinShe is an author, or maybe a poetA genius, but it's just this world doesn't know itShe works on her novel most everydayIf you laugh she will sayChorusSeize the day - seize whatever you can'Cause life slips away just like hourglass sandSeize the day - pray for grace from God's handThen nothing will stand in your waySeize the dayWell I know a doctor, a fine young physicianLeft his six figure job for a mission positionHe's healing the sick in an African villageHe works in the dirt and writes home to the cynicsHe says "We work through the night so most everydayAs we watch the sun rise we can say....Repeat ChorusI know a man who's been doing some thinkingHe's as bitter and cold as the whiskey he's drinkingHe's talking 'bout fear, about chances not takenIf you listen to him you can hear his heart breakingHe says "One day you're a boy and the next day you're deadI wish way back when someone had said....Repeat ChorusWell one thing I've noticed wherever I wanderEveryone's got a dream he can follow or squanderYou can do what you will with the days you are givenI'm trying to spend mine on the business of livingSo I'm singing my songs off of any old stageYou can laugh if you want - I'll still say....Repeat Chorus
