The Same the Whole World Over

It looks the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
Writing that is on the wall
Is there to remind us all
Remember as a kid
How you couldn’t wait to be big
But now that you’ve done that
What you wouldn’t give
If only to go back
It’s the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
No matter what excuse you give
Hold on, just one life to live
Some don’t disapprove
They say there must be something that we can do
But you know as well as I
It’s the only thing money cannot buy
And I don’t think that one night
Got me all night back
Providing you to live for
There’s no reason to be sad
It’s the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
you know it’s gonna happen to you
Her eyes only once told me
Don’t go wasting time
What lies up ahead soon will be behind
I must say she’s right
It’s soon or is it dark, suddenly it’s light
I don’t think that one life got me
But having you live it to the full
There’s no reason to be sad
It’s the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
you know it’s gonna happen to you
