[Intro: solo nylon guitar, soft Rhodes, warm and unhurried] (Mmm... da da da...) [Verse 1: smiling, conversational] A day for me An hour for us And a lifetime of love No plans to make, nowhere to be Just you and me (just you and me) And that's enough [Pre-Chorus: Rhodes swells] Why live with sadness or pain? It's hard enough just being here So let your heart go Loosen up those muscles And just be (just be, baby) [Chorus: lush harmonies, full groove] Let life be, let life shine Let's just live, your hand in mine That's what it's all about Living... living Just living (ooh, just living) [Verse 2: playful, bass steps forward] Coffee going cold on the windowsill Radio playing something slow You hum the part you never learned (you never learned it) And we got nowhere else to go Laundry waiting, still unfolded Talking 'bout nothing, laughing 'bout less The world can knock, the world can wait Today we rest (mm-hmm, we rest) [Pre-Chorus] Why live with sadness or pain? It's hard enough just being here So let your heart go Loosen up those muscles And just be [Chorus] Let life be, let life shine Let's just live, your hand in mine That's what it's all about Living... living Just living [Bridge: hushed, close-mic, guitar and rain only] No big words, no grand design Just an ordinary day, and it's fine If this is all there ever is... It's all I'll ever need [Instrumental Break: blooming full-band return, Rhodes solo] [Final Chorus: full band, ad-libs] Let life be (let it be), let life shine (let it shine) Let's just live, your hand in mine That's what it's all about Living, living (oh, we're living) A day for me, an hour for us And a lifetime of love [Outro: soft spoken, band fading, rain returns] (spoken) Mm... stay right here. (spoken) We don't have to go anywhere today. (Da da da... living...) [End]
