Secret of Life - James Taylor

Performed by Taylor in HD with stunning sound quality. In the early '70s, when he appeared with his introspective songs, acoustic guitar, and calm, understated singing style, James Taylor mirrored a generation's emotional exhaustion after tumultuous times. Just as Bing Crosby's reassuring voice brought the country out of the Depression and through World War II, Taylor's eased the transition from '60s activism and its attendant frustrations into the less political, more inward-looking '70s. The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time Any fool can do it There ain't nothing to it Nobody knows how we got to The top of the hill But since we're on our way down We might as well enjoy the ride. The secret of love is in opening up your heart It's okay to feel afraid But don't let that stand in your way 'cause anyone knows that love is the only road And since we're only here for a while Might as well show some style Give us a smile. Isn't it a lovely ride Sliding down Gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride. Now the thing about time is that time Isn't really real It's just your point of view How does it feel for you Einstein said he could never understand it all Planets spinning through space The smile upon your face Welcome to the human race. Some kind of lovely ride I'll be sliding down I'll be gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride. Isn't it a lovely ride Sliding down Gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride.
