Runner Up

I knew an angel One day of my life I was running, running, running, when I tripped and fell She saw me, saw me, saw me, and rang that bell I looked up into those wise, wise, eyes Looking down on me, with a sigh, sigh, sigh And she said: "don't go running, don't go running What's the rush, rush, rush? Honey, honey, take it slow You shouldn't waste a second, trust me, I know Life is so short, so bitter, so sweet So honey, honey, be more careful crossing the street" I listened, listened, listened with fascination But I think her words got lost in translation Because when she said: "Don't go running, don't go running What's the rush, rush, rush Honey, honey, take is slow You shouldn't waste a second, trust me, I know Life is so short, so bitter, so sweet So honey, honey, be more careful crossing the street" I got up and I kept running, running, running All the way there And I thought about it, 'bout it, 'bout it Until I thought why should I care? If life so short If life is grand If an angel herself told me to live for the moment To live for the land If an angel herself, told me to make it all count Then I'm going to do it all No matter if it's big or small To hell with them all
