I'm standing on the beach at Windy harbour
Looking out across the open sea
I remember being here once with my Father
On a summer evening 1963
And he said "Son, take a look on the horizon
There's a world beyond I long for you to see
But if you ever sail across the ocean
Remember son this day you had with me"
He said, "Life is a game
Win or lose it's all the same
You live and you die
Just don't let it pass you by
You have choices to make
You have chances to take
You will laugh, you will sing and you will cry
But don't let a moment pass you by"
So I'm standing here again at Windy Harbour
Looking out once more across the sea
But this time it is me who is the Father
And younger eyes are looking up to me
And I said "Son, take a look on the horizon
There's a world beyond that I have never seen
But I hope one day you'll sail across that ocean
To all the places I have never been"
"You see life is a game
Win or lose it's all the same
You live and you die
Just don't let it pass you by
You have choices to make
You have chances to take
You will laugh, you will sing, and you will cry
But don't let a moment pass you by
Remember, life is a game
Win or lose it's all the same
You live and you die
Just don't let it pass you by
You have choices to make
You have chances to take
You will laugh, you will sing, and you will cry
Spread your wings and you will fly
But don't let a moment
Not one precious moment
Don't let a moment pass you by
Looking out across the open sea
