Текст (слова) песни: Conway Twitty - Life`s Too Short (No Matter How Long It Lasts)
Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten I didn`t know the secret code, so they wouldn`t let me in They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin` I was twice my age.
My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear Patiently, he`d comfort me when I was close to tears And, I`d say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass And, he`d say, sport, life`s too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you`ll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past Life`s too short no matter how long it lasts.
At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa`s time was near We gathered `round his bedside, fighting back the tears I said, Grandpa, we can`t let you go, even though you`re ninety-three He said, I`d love to stay, but it ain`t up to me.
And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast Life`s too short no matter how long it lasts.
Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee He said, why can`t I be all grown up, instead of only three And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past And, I said, sport, life`s too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you`ll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past Life`s too short no matter how long it lasts.
Life`s much too short, no matter how long it lasts...
