Lyrics

Life is a winding road
Sometimes it’s wide, then it’s narrow
If you’re in doubt, ask the sparrow
It goes up then comes down
Yes! Life is a climbin’ road
When you got dreams you can follow
You can fly as high as any swallow in the sky

Walk along with the breeze
Look around and see the trees
Lot’s o’ pretty things along the way
Plenty time, Plenty time!
There’s another hill to climb
But tomorrow is another day

An’ life is a winding road
That ol’ blue heaven is high
Take it slow, don’t you know
You’re gonna get there bye an’ bye?
Bye an’ bye, Bye an’ bye!
