Life Will Pass You By

Life will pass you by
And life will fade away
The darkness that clouds men's minds
Was the same that drew you away from me

In a world of many pleasures
There's time for fun and games
Yet all that glitters is not gold, child
There's more in the world to hold, child
Than those who strive only for name

Well, life will pass you by
And life will fade away
The darkness that clouds men's minds
Was the same that drew you away from me

[BRIDGE]

Once there was a lamp
Whose beam I thought it would hold
Like a beacon in the night it showed
Who would have thought it to be roving
Me to a road most sorely taken

Life will pass you by
And life will fade away
The darkness that clouds men's minds
Was the same that drew you away from me
