  • The secret of life
    Is enjoying the passage of time
    Any fool can do it
    There ain't nothing to it
    Nobody knows how we got
    To the top of the hill, ooh
    But since we're on our way down
    We might as well enjoy the ride

    The secret of love
    Is in opening up your heart (ooh, open up your heart)
    It's okay to feel afraid
    But don't let that stand in your way no longer
    'Cause anyone knows
    That love is the only road
    And since we're only here for a while
    Might as well show some style
    Give us a smile, now

    Isn't it a lovely ride? (Lovely ride)
    Sliding down, and just gliding down
    Try not to try too hard
    It's just a lovely ride

    Now the thing about time
    Is that time isn't really real (time isn't really real, no)
    It's just your point of view (tell me)
    How does it feel for you? (How does it feel for you?)
    Einstein said he
    Could never understand it all
    Planets spinning through space
    The smile upon your face
    Welcome to the human race

    Some kind of lovely ride (some kind of lovely ride)
    I'll go sliding down
    I'll be gliding down
    Try not to try too hard
    It's just a lovely ride
    Isn't it a lovely ride? (It's just a lovely ride)
    Sliding down, gliding down
    Try not to try too hard
    It's just a lovely ride
    The secret of life (the secret of life)
    Is enjoying the passage of time
    The passage of time Writer/s: James Taylor
