Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By

(альбом: Mama's Big Ones - 1970)

Did you ever lie and listen to the rain fall
Did you ever own a homemade apple pie
Did you ever watch a child while he was praying
Just don't let the good life pass you by

Did you ever hold a hand to stop its trembling
Did you ever watch the sun desert the sky
Did you ever hold a woman while she's sleeping
Friend, don't let the good life pass you by

Man was made for loving, not for buying
Gold can't get the things we really need
Just look, my friends, there's happiness in living
Somewhere between broke and being free

Did you ever see the funny side of losing
Did you ever sit right down and have a cry
Did you ever take the time to help a neighbor
Just don't let the good life pass you by

Well, man was made for loving, not for buying
Gold can't get the things we really need
Just look, my friends, there's happiness in living
Somewhere between broke and being free

Did you ever see the funny side of losing
Did you ever sit right down and have a cry
Did you ever take the time to help a neighbor
Just don't let the good life pass you by
Friend, don't let the good life pass you by
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
