Carole King Passing of the Days song lyrics

May you travel bright and cheery

The many roads ahead you'll have to blaze

Gonna be hard times to make you weary

It's a part of the passing of the days

With all the people in the middle

Selling things that self destruct and make us bleed

One day it's all gonna fall down

Then you'll find out you're all you really need

May you wonder through the changes

With the warmth of the sun behind the haze

When your lifestyle quickly rearranges

May you follow the passing of the days

We trade our money for magic words

Like Dumbo flying high in the nightly show

You think you can't fly without them

But someday when it happens you will know

May you travel bright and cheery

The many roads ahead you'll have to blaze

Gonna be hard times to make you weary

It's a part of the passing of the days

May you follow the passing of the days
