It's How You Live...

It's How You Live... (I love this song!)

 It's a song about living life with no regrets.  It's a song about not letting the cares of life cause you to miss embracing moments.  It's a song about relishing the simple things.  It's a song about giving.  It's a song about loving.  It's a song about acceptance.  It's a song that says... self importance means nothing in the end.  Live, love and laugh today!  Now turn up the music and sing along with me ;)

Wake up to the sunlight
With your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want
But want what you have
And don't spend your life lookin' back

Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
Cuz it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Verse 2:
So go to the ballgames
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth
Cuz you can't get away
Just face it and you'll be okay

Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
Cuz it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Bridge:
Oh where ever you are and where ever you've been
Now is the time to begin

Verse 3:
So give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
Even when you don't think that you can
Cuz all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God and make peace with yourself
Cuz in the end there's nobody else

Chorus:
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
Cuz you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
Cuz it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

Cuz it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live!
