Secret O' Life

I found myself singing this song one day on the way home after a tiring day at the office. My husband was playing the James Taylor concert on his MP4 which was attached to the car stereo. I love this song! It makes me reminisce those old days when my then "friend" (now my husband) and I were still getting to know each other. And I love the fact that we enjoyed, more or less, the same kinds of songs.

Hun, do you remember the day we sang this song in unison after my birthday party? How about the time when we would play cds in-sync on our own respective players while we're talking on the phone until the wee hours in the morning? Gee, courtship was really a sweet, fun and memorable time. But of course, now that we're married, it's much much better!!!

SECRET O' LIFE
James Taylor

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 were on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart
Its okay to feel afraid
But dont let that stand in your way
cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since were only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile

Isnt it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time
Isnt really real
Its just your point of view
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
Ill be sliding down
Ill be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

Isnt it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
