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've got to find a sense of perspective Ain't no use you burying your head in the sand but I kinda like your revolutionary spirit You've got to fall 'fore you learn how to stand Nobody's gonna know what it's like To walk a mile in your shoes Satchmo sang it's a wonderful world But what you make of it is up to you Let yourself fly Let yourself cry The years disappear in the blink of an eye There's music in the air, is it Holst or Brahms It'll be heaven when she's in your arms (Chorus) Love the life you live Live the life you love Everybody here 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 It reminds me of when you were young You know you gotta polarise your concentration I know that girl of yours gonna understand Never underestimate the power of affection When you've got the world in the palm of your hands Don't go looking for a pot of gold Over that miracle mile Happiness lies in your own back yard Utopia can take a little while Walk down the aisle With that big old smile Collect that diploma with your head held high Study with soul to reach that goal But always remember let the good times rule Walk by the lake Hand in hand Try and see a sunrise in a foreign land Tell her that you love her Don't be afraid Keep every promise that you've ever made (Chorus) You've gotta love it You've gotta love it Make the most of it You only get one chance So take it by the hand
