Sing the Song

A song from Vance's collection...

"Sing the Song"
From the Crusaders' album, Rural Renewal

Where do the hours go?
All the things that I love so—
I reach out,
They’re no longer there.

Life is the song I sing,
Flies away on silver wing,
Sing the song,
While the song is there.

Please somebody tell me,
When do I go there?
Please somebody tell me,
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows.

So I take every day,
Hold it ‘till it flies away,
Holding on,
‘Till the days are gone.

So I will sing my song,
Knowing it won’t be here long,
Sing the song
‘Till the song is gone.

And there’s you and there’s me,
And there’s what will be will be,
And if we open up our souls,
Maybe we’ll see,

Through the day, through the night,
I keep looking for the light,
Sometimes I think it’s just my soul
That sets me free.

So life is the song I sing,
Flies away on silver wing,
Sing the song,
While the song is there...

Sing the song
While the song is there.
