Seize The Day

-1-
I know a girl who was schooled in Manhattan
She reads dusty books and learns phrases in latin
She is an author or maybe a poet
A genius but its just this world doesn't know it
She works on 'er novel most every day If you laugh she will say
CHORUS:
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin' will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai

Well I know a doctor A fine young physician
Left his six figure job for a mission position
He's healin' the sick in an African clinic
He works in the dirt and writes home to the cynics
He says we work through the night almost ev-er-y day
As we watch the sun rise we can say
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai

Well I know a man who's been doin' some thinkin'
He's as bitter and cold as the whisky he's drinkin'
He's talkin' bout fear 'bout chances not traken
If you listen to him you can hear his heart breakin'
He says "One day youra boy The next day you're dead
I wish way back when someone had said..."
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin' will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de Dai Dai Lai de Dai Dai Lai de Dai Dai-e-i

Well one thing I've noticed wherever I wander
Everyone's got a dream he can follow or squander
You can do what you will with the days you are given
I'm tryin' to spend mine on the business of livin'
So I'm singin' my songs off of any old stage
You can laugh if you want HA'll still say
Seize the day Seize whatever you can
Cause life slips away just like hourglass sand
Seize the day pray for grace from God's hand
That nothin' will stand in your way Seize the day
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
Lai de dai de dai Lai de dai de dai da dai
