The Naked Facts of Life
Some days I miss the way things were when life was all brand new
Each morning like a world premiere and I had a perfect view
It will warm you like a blanket or it'll cut you like a knife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
And then, a little older, and things weighed upon my mind
So many questions came to me with answers hard to find
You'll feel peace just like a river or be torn by family strife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
Life has so many different songs but not so many keys
I reached an age and then could see the forest not the trees
It will make you quit your job or bring you closer to your wife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
Don't wander backward in your mind to when worry stole your joys
Youth is wasted on the young and the kids get all the toys
Don't look back in anger look ahead where peace is rife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
Each morning like a world premiere and I had a perfect view
It will warm you like a blanket or it'll cut you like a knife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
And then, a little older, and things weighed upon my mind
So many questions came to me with answers hard to find
You'll feel peace just like a river or be torn by family strife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
Life has so many different songs but not so many keys
I reached an age and then could see the forest not the trees
It will make you quit your job or bring you closer to your wife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
Don't wander backward in your mind to when worry stole your joys
Youth is wasted on the young and the kids get all the toys
Don't look back in anger look ahead where peace is rife
When your eyes are finally opened to the naked facts of life
