Reed, Jerry - Don't Let The Good Life Pass You By Lyrics

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 bein' 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 lovin' not for buying...
Well did you ever see the funny side of losing...

Just don't let the good life pass you by
Just don't let the good life pass you by
No no no no don't let the good life pass you by
