Daniel Lavoie - The Truth Of It All lyrics
[Daniel Lavoie - The Truth Of It All lyrics]
Well I had it in my mind
That if I really took the time
I could eventually find the truth
But the truth of it all is as the years go by
I don't really care if I do
Oh happiness is fine if you've got the money
And you've got the time
Maybe join a club that gives
You peace of mind or wonder half your life
If the right stars shine
So you can go to heaven a healthy ninety-nine
Well I had it in my mind that
If I really took the time
I could find the perfect girl
But perfect girls are a lot like me
They're not perfect every day
Oh, love is fine takes you to the moon
And makes you sing the blues
You never win and you never lose
You're never chosen and you never choose
Can't even trust myself
So how can I trust you
Well I had it in my mind
That if I really took the time
I could write a greatest song
But greatest songs seem to
Take more than time
And in the end who's to know what's great
Oh writing songs is fun
Couldn't tell you why wouldn't want to try
Take them as they are or
Leave them as they come
And up-and coming star or a foot tapping bum
Who can take to gin when he runs out of rum
That if I really took the time
I could eventually find the truth
But the truth of it all is as the years go by
I don't really care if I do
Oh happiness is fine if you've got the money
And you've got the time
Maybe join a club that gives
You peace of mind or wonder half your life
If the right stars shine
So you can go to heaven a healthy ninety-nine
Well I had it in my mind that
If I really took the time
I could find the perfect girl
But perfect girls are a lot like me
They're not perfect every day
Oh, love is fine takes you to the moon
And makes you sing the blues
You never win and you never lose
You're never chosen and you never choose
Can't even trust myself
So how can I trust you
Well I had it in my mind
That if I really took the time
I could write a greatest song
But greatest songs seem to
Take more than time
And in the end who's to know what's great
Oh writing songs is fun
Couldn't tell you why wouldn't want to try
Take them as they are or
Leave them as they come
And up-and coming star or a foot tapping bum
Who can take to gin when he runs out of rum
