Life Sneaks Up On You

 I got some pictures on the wall
I got some stories I can tell
there are some numbers I can call
when I'm not feeling very well
but life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

do you remember when
we stayed up all night
when we thought we got it right
when we had that little fight
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

Why do children have to die
why do friends go bye bye
sometimes I just don't understand
could you just hold my hand
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

I think I'm going to cry now
thats just the way I feel
I keep going I don't know how
I'm like a cog stuck in a wheel
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

We have to love every minute
We should love every minute
give it all we have and more
cause when it is all said and done
life sneaks up on you sometimes
sometimes its cold outside

I think I'm going to cry now
thats just the way I feel
life sneaks up on you sometimes
