Well there's a moment When you're born And there's a moment When you're not here anymore Between there are shadows and bright sunshine Hey, that's life Before you know it You'll be on your own Thrown into it Out there looking for a home You'll find somebody you can hold at night Hey, that's alright Later on, when work is done You'll carry on, and you'll have some fun But you better not pout and you better not cry When you find out the ticket only works one time I've been through it Has your Uncle Fred But it's way past time for you kids to be in bed I better hear nothing when I shut off this light Hey, that's life That's life That's life And by the way Study for your test And don't give in And always do your best The heart will wander and you won't know why But you'll feel a lot better when you have a good cry Now, I know it We're out here having fun And you can too when your day has come Until then I am shutting off this light Hey that's life That's life That's life
