Long as You're Living - Abbey Lincoln[00:00:00]

Written by：Tommy Turrentine/Oscar Brown/Julian Priester[00:00:00]

Forgive me if I seem to preach[00:00:23]

But there is something that I want to say[00:00:25]

A message that I hope will reach[00:00:27]

People who are throwing life away[00:00:29]

I call it my philosophy[00:00:31]

That is why I pass it on to you[00:00:33]

Because it works so well for me[00:00:35]

It helps me get away from strife[00:00:37]

I hope you listen carefully[00:00:39]

They say the truth will make you free[00:00:41]

And that's the way you want to be[00:00:43]

Cause brother this is your life[00:00:45]

Long as you're livin'[00:00:48]

Always remember[00:00:50]

Time is for spendin'[00:00:52]

But there's an ending[00:00:54]

While you are sleepin'[00:00:56]

Lifetime is creepin'[00:00:58]

Wake up and taste it[00:01:00]

Foolish to waste it[00:01:02]

Sample and savor[00:01:04]

All of it's flavor[00:01:06]

Long as you're livin'[00:01:08]

Long as you're livin'[00:01:12]

Always remember[00:01:14]

Folks who are lazy[00:01:16]

Are playing crazy[00:01:18]

Better keep movin'[00:01:20]

Keep on improvin'[00:01:22]

You won't be hurried[00:01:24]

After you're buried[00:01:26]

Live every minute[00:01:28]

Put yourself in it[00:01:30]

Long as you're livin'[00:01:32]

Long as you're livin'[00:01:36]

Always remember[00:01:38]

You'll never beat life[00:01:40]

Don't try to cheat life[00:01:42]

All in are brothers[00:01:44]

Do unto others[00:01:46]

Love's for enjoying[00:01:48]

Hate's for destroying[00:01:50]

Never forget it[00:01:52]

Or you'll regret it[00:01:54]

Long as you're living[00:01:56]

Forgive me if I seem to preach[00:02:00]

But there is something that I want to say[00:02:01]

A message that I hope will reach[00:02:04]

People who are throwing life away[00:02:06]

I call it my philosophy[00:02:08]

That is why I pass it on to you[00:02:10]

Because it works so well for me[00:02:12]

It helps me get away from strife[00:02:14]

I hope you listen carefully[00:02:16]

They say the truth will make you free[00:02:18]

And that's the way you want to be[00:02:20]

Cause brother this is your life[00:02:22]
