Gilbert O'sullivan - The Same the Whole World Over lyrics

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
