《Long A You’re Living》歌词

[00:00:01] Long a You're Living - Abbey Lincoln

[00:00:23] Forgive me if i seem to preach

[00:00:25] But there is something that i want to say

[00:00:27] A message that i hope will reach

[00:00:29] People who are throwing life away

[00:00:31] I call it my philosophy

[00:00:33] That is why i pass it on to you

[00:00:35] Because it works so well for me

[00:00:37] It helps me get away from strife

[00:00:39] I hope you listen carefully

[00:00:41] They say the truth will make you free

[00:00:44] And that's the way you want to be

[00:00:45] 'Cause brother this is your life

[00:00:48] Long as you're livin'

[00:00:50] Always remember

[00:00:52] Time is for spendin'

[00:00:54] But there's an ending

[00:00:56] While you are sleepin'

[00:00:58] Lifetime is creepin'

[00:01:00] Wake up and taste it

[00:01:02] Foolish to waste it

[00:01:04] Sample and savor

[00:01:06] All of it's flavor

[00:01:08] Long as you're livin'

[00:01:12] Long as you're livin'

[00:01:14] Always remember

[00:01:16] Folks who are lazy

[00:01:18] Are playing crazy

[00:01:20] Better keep movin'

[00:01:22] Keep on improvin'

[00:01:24] You won't be hurried

[00:01:26] After you're buried

[00:01:28] Live every minute

[00:01:30] Put yourself in it

[00:01:32] Long as you're livin'

[00:01:36] Long as you're livin'

[00:01:38] Always remember

[00:01:40] You'll never beat life

[00:01:42] Don't try to cheat life

[00:01:44] All in are brothers

[00:01:46] Do unto others

[00:01:48] Love's for enjoying

[00:01:50] Hate's for destroying

[00:01:52] Never forget it

[00:01:54] Or you'll regret it

[00:01:56] Long as you're living

[00:02:00] Forgive me if i seem to preach

[00:02:02] But there is something that i want to say

[00:02:04] A message that i hope will reach

[00:02:06] People who are throwing life away

[00:02:08] I call it my philosophy

[00:02:10] That is why i pass it on to you

[00:02:12] Because it works so well for me

[00:02:14] It helps me get away from strife

[00:02:16] I hope you listen carefully

[00:02:18] They say the truth will make you free

[00:02:20] And that's the way you want to be

[00:02:22] 'Cause brother this is your life
