[Introduction Instrumental] [Chorus] What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare... [Melodic interlude] [Verse 1] No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. [Chorus] What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare... [Improvised Horn solo] [Bridge - Building to Climax] [Verse 2] No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. [Pre-Chorus Variation] No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. [Chorus] A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. [Fade Out and End]
