Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Was a bug, little bug, hardly there
How he felt, what he dreamed, who would care?
Without any evidence
His flaws were many
He was full of confidence
Some people haven't any
Didn't have much common sense
It's highly overrated
He just knew that he'd come through
[Chorus]
It's the time of your life, so live it well
It's the time of your life, so live it well
We may only go 'round just one time
As far as I can tell
He could be wrong about that
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life, so live it well
[Verse 2]
Like us all, he started small, then he grew
When the time came, he knew what to do
He knew in order to succeed
They'd have to work together
Turned a rock into a seed
And they were changed forever
Then they had the strength they'd need
To get through stormy weather
Do or die, you gotta try
[Chorus]
It's the time of your life, so live it well
It's the time of your life, so live it well
We may only go 'round one time
As far as I can tell
He could be wrong about that
It's the time of your life, so live it well
[Bridge]
Isn't it a bit surprising?
How our fortune's ebb and flow
And only to the enterprising
Does the magic fortune cookie go
Believe me
[Chorus]
It's the time of your life, so live it well
It's the time of your life, so live it well
We may only go 'round one time
As far as I can tell
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life
It's the time of your life, so live it well
