Слушать бесплатно Life's Too Short

"Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age. My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts. Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past Life's too short no matter how long it lasts. At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me. And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast Life's too short no matter how long it lasts. Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts. Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past Life's too short no matter how long it lasts. Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts... "
