Lyrics

LIFE JUST HAPPENS
(P. Mathews, Quonochontaug Music)

I heard two boys
Talking about when they grow up
I heard two boys
Talking about their grown up dreams

One said I will be a pilot
Pave new pathways to the stars
One said I will be a doctor
Saving lives I’ll do my part

(chorus)
Life just happens
While we’re busy making other plans
Life just happens
While we’re busy with our dreams
Life just happens
While we’re busy making other plans
Life just happens
While we’re busy with our dreams

Two teenage boys
Talking about what they like best
Two teenage boys
Cars, girls, money and all the rest

One said I will be a rich man
Have a boat and a real fine car
One said I will be an actor
Soon I’ll be a real big star

(chorus)

Some say carpe diem
Some can’t get off the fence
Some say que sera
Some believe in karma or Zen

I heard two men
Talking about what might have been
I heard two men
Talking about paths not taken

One said I sure miss my family
My cup was full my life complete
One said I chose fame and fortune
It hurts to want more than you need

(chorus)
