The Same the Whole World Over
Oh, it's the same the whole world over
Every year, we get a little bit older
The writing that is on the wall is there to remind us all
Remember as a kid
How you couldn't wait to be big?
And now that you've done that
What you wouldn't give if only to go back
And it's the same the whole world over
Every year, we get a little bit older
No matter what excuse you give
We've all got just one life to live
Some though 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 life can be all that bad
Providing you live it to the full
There's no reason to be sad
'Cause 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
Rich or poor, you know it's gonna happen to you
A wise old woman once told me
Grow old but gracefully
Don't go wasting time
What lies up ahead soon will be behind
I must say she's right
No sooner is it dark when suddenly it's light
I don't think that one life can be all that bad
Providing you live it to the full
There's no reason to be sad
'Cause 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
Rich or poor, you know it's gonna happen to you
Every year, we get a little bit older
The writing that is on the wall is there to remind us all
Remember as a kid
How you couldn't wait to be big?
And now that you've done that
What you wouldn't give if only to go back
And it's the same the whole world over
Every year, we get a little bit older
No matter what excuse you give
We've all got just one life to live
Some though 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 life can be all that bad
Providing you live it to the full
There's no reason to be sad
'Cause 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
Rich or poor, you know it's gonna happen to you
A wise old woman once told me
Grow old but gracefully
Don't go wasting time
What lies up ahead soon will be behind
I must say she's right
No sooner is it dark when suddenly it's light
I don't think that one life can be all that bad
Providing you live it to the full
There's no reason to be sad
'Cause 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
Rich or poor, you know it's gonna happen to you
