Start young, taught to measure
And put a value on every day
And later, oh much later
Take that value and throw it away
Cause life's too long, oh love
To get it wrong quite this much
We sit quiet and we wonder
What's inside the other's mind?
And we hope that these thoughts forgive us
That they're not violent or unkind
Cause life is too long, oh love
To get it wrong quite this much
Life is too long, oh love
To get it wrong leave this dust
Every thread adds to the rope
But every night in bed, sleep adds hope
Oh love
Life is too long...
