1
Big brother had a tree house club
2
When he was only ten
3
I didn't know the secret code
4
So they wouldn't let me in
5
They told me I was much too young
6
For the kind of games they played
7
I remember, I would sit and cry
8
Wishin' I was twice my age
9
My grandpa was the only one
10
With a sympathetic ear
11
Patiently, he'd comfort me
12
When I was close to tears
13
And I'd say gramps
14
Why does it take so long for time to pass?
15
And he'd say, sport
16
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
17
Too soon you'll see
18
How suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
19
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
20
At twenty one, they called me home
21
'Cause grandpa's time was near
22
We gathered 'round his bedside
23
Fighting back the tears
24
I said, grandpa, we can't let you go
25
Even though you're ninety-three
26
He said, I'd love to stay
27
But it ain't up to me
28
And then we heard him whisper
29
In a voice that was fading fast
30
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
31
Today my little grandson
32
Came and climbed up on my knee
33
He said, why can't I be all grown up
34
Instead of only three?
35
And then, those old familiar words
36
Came tumbling from the past
37
And I said sport
38
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
39
Too soon you'll see
40
How suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
41
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
42
Life's much too short no matter how long it lasts
