Live For Life - Abbey Lincoln

Come with me my love

And seize the day and live it

Live it fully live it fast

Never thinking once about

Tomorrow 'til tomorrow’s been and gone and past

We’ll pour the wine and fill the

Cup of joy and drink it

Drink as if it were the last

Live just for life

In Paris today in Amsterdam tomorrow

Sixty minutes through the skies

Fly with me to see the setting summer sun

And stay with me to see it rise

And say to the those who say

To live this way is mad

That mad we’d rather be than wise

Live just live for life

Yesterday’s a memory gone for good

For ever, while tomorrow is a guess

What is real is what is here and now

The here and now is all that we possess

So take my hand and we will take

The moment, if for just the

Moment’s happiness

Live just for life

If you let it, it will lead you

Through the mystery and wonder

Of a world you’ve never known before

Share the splendors to be shared

Magic places to explore

Dare the dangers to be dared

Cause life is all of this and more

This and more, ooooooooh

Come with me to where

The hills are green and still

And filled with flowers to adore

Come with me to where the laughter sings

And drowns the pounding sounds of guns of war

Come with me my love and

Live for life and life will live

For you forever more

Live just live for life

Live just live for life

Live just live for life
