(Johnny McRae - Bobby Fisher - Richard Ross)

Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.

My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.

And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.

Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...


Mirror lyrics:

Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts...

Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past

And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
He said, why can't I be all grown up, instead of only three
Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee

Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast

He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me.
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
We gathered 'round his bedside, fighting back the tears
At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near

Life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past

And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts.
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear

I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age.
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten

Popular Songs:
standin' in the shadows of love

gozlerinin icine

grand maman

the nothingship

pen and paper

gone

shout

me persigue tu sombra

pero el amor es mas fuerte

tu m'oublieras

westbound sign

this time

regression and the return to paradise extinct

get over yourself

crybabies

ca speech goodbye

slip of the lip

meet me here

we are the young

she says
