Art Garfunkel

Secret O' Life

The secret of life

Is enjoying the passage of time

Any fool can do it

There ain't nothin' to it

Nobody knows how we got to the top

of the hill

Since we're on our way down

We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love

Is in opening up your heart

It's okay to feel afraid

But don't let that stand in your way

'Cause anyone knows

That love is the only road

Since we' re only here for awhile

Might as well show some style

Give us a smile

Isn't it a lovely ride

Slidin' down, I'll be glidin' down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time

Isn't really real

It's 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

I'll be slidin' down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Isn't it a lovely ride

See me slidin' down, glidin' down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

The secret of life

Is enjoying the passage of time
