Текст песни Secret O' Life - Live 1976 - James Taylor

I wanna sing a song that I never sang
Before an audience before

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
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
It's okay to feel afraid
But don't let that stand in your way
'Cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while
We might as well show some style

Give us a smile
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's a lovely ride
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, I'll be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
Ain't nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill
But since we're on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride
