Well, did you ever lie
And listen to the rain fall?
Did you ever own
A homemade apple pie?
Did you ever watch a child
While he was praying?
Just don't let
The good life pass you by
Did you ever hold a hand
To stop its trembling?
Did you ever watch
The sun desert the sky?
Did you ever hold a woman
While she's sleeping?
Friend, don't let
The good life pass you by
Man was made for loving
Not for buying
And gold can't give
The things we really need
Just look my friend
There's happiness in living
Somewhere between broke
And being free
Did you ever see
The funny side of losing?
Did you ever, did you ever, did you ever
Just sit right down
And have a cry?
Did you ever take
The time to help your neighbor?
Friend, don't let
The good life pass you by
Don't you let
The good life pass you by
Well, man was made for loving
Not for buying
And gold can't give
The things we really need
Just look my friend
There's happiness in living
Somewhere between broke
And being free
Well, did you ever see
The funny side of losing?
Did you ever sit right down
And have a cry?
Well, did you ever take
The time to help your neighbor?
Friend, don't let
The good life pass you by
Don't let the good life pass you by
Don't you, don't you
Let the good life pass you by
Don't let the good life pass you by
