We've gone a bit dark there, Leesa. I insisted on Don't Fear the Reaper as one of the songs to be played at our last birthday party, though DH said nobody would dance to it. I dragged a friend onto the dance floor and we stayed there, just the two of us, for the duration. It's a very long song....
The verse that wanders around many English folk songs, with slight variations: Oh time, it is a precious thing; And time brings all things to my mind; Time, with all its labours, along with all its joys; Let no-one steal away your time.
Those with a country upbringing or love of folk music will know the double meaning of time/ thyme (female pudenda) so there's a warning in there about only giving your time / thyme to someone who deserves it! This is a link to the amazing Norma Waterson (where have the years gone?) singing one version with her family: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0QJPEckm4s
What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong sums it up for me. The many different experiences, views, backgrounds, personalities and yep, wisdom; it's all here on GN.
