and quite a bit of wine
cant fix
when your emotions are in a mix
when you're looking for something sure
for that perfect cure
open that closet door
get all dressed up even more
think about the good stuff
hell yeah it's tough
but you gotta do what you gotta do
to make it thru
make it thru the day
make it thru the night
to keep warm
from reality's harsh bite
nothing lives forever
so don't live life any lesser
live it to the fullest
don't leave any chances missed
to live, to love, to learn
sure you might get a little burn
but what's there to say when life is over
and you have nothing to show to for it
but an empty hand, dry heart and nothing to share
why then would anyone want to care
what then would you have to tell
no heartache to make you want to yell
no love that put you under that spell
no lesson that put you thru hell
those are the things that make a person
those friends, that love, those lessons
you can make many friends
but how many do you call family
you can say you're in love
but do you really feel that spellbound feeling
you can say you've learned
but do you keep making mistakes without striving for a difference
when you stop reaching out
is when you need to shout
tell someone even thin air
that you need to live
give it a whirl
put those dressy clothes on girl
boy you better come dressed out to the nine
pop a bottle of your best wine
live a little to be sure
that living life isn't one of the best cures
