Steve Winwood - Take It As It Comes lyrics

Take it as it comes

Just an actor waiting for a new play

Take it as it comes

Ask me to dance, I will dance for you

Ask me to sing, see what I do

If you feel sad, I'll make jokes for you

I'm a handyman, I'm still coming through

If you suffer from a broken heart

Take it as it comes

If your love^Rr tears your world all apart

Got to take it as it comes

I've played a king and a down and out fool

Some like it hot, and some like it cool

Do what they want, but don't be their tool

Savor the throne, but don't mind the stool

Carry on, carry on, carry on...

If they go too far, that's the way things are

Though it may hurt

We're all skating on the thinnest of ice

Got to take it as it comes

In a world that is not so very nice

Got to take it as it comes

And day now the curtain may fall

All the plays end, there's no curtain call

If you live sad, or it you walk tall

We're written on wind that's a lot to haul

Carry on, carry on, carry on...

If they go too far, that's the way things are

Though your mind gets numb, take it as it comes

We're all skating on the thinnest of ice

Got to take it as it comes

In a world that is not so very nice

Got to take it as it comes

An^Y^Yy day now the curtain may fall

All the plays end, there's no curtain call

If you live sad, or if you walk tall

We're written on wind that's a lot to haul

Carry on, carry on, carry on...

If the^Yy go too far, that's the way things are

Though your mind gets numb, take it^A as itcomes

If they go too far, that's the way things are

If they break your thumbs, take it as it comes
