Rhythm of Life
Words and Music by Jonny Olsen

Do you remember the days
When we sang brighter songs?
Do you remember the nights
When we made love all night long?
And I remember a time
When there wasn't so much grey
And we danced a gentler dance
And moved a softer way

'Cause I was dancing to the rhythm of life
'Cause I was dancing to the rhythm of life

Now the days are not so much
Like they used to be, my love
We look more to the ground below
Than to the stars shining up above
Caught up in our consumer ways
We think fortune is all the fame
In a rush to progress beyond the rest
Now nothing ever seems the same

'Cause I was dancing to the ryhthm of life
'Cause I was dancing to the ryhthm of life

And I sit here on a rocky shore
and watch the waves crash on the beach
And I think here that this rocky shore
Has come too far out of reach
Always looking where we are going
But never really where we have been
Well maybe we'll just stop here
And dance that dance again

'Cause I was dancing to the ryhthm of life
'Cause I was dancing to the ryhthm of life


And we danced a gentler dance and moved a softer way






Well maybe we'll just stop here 
and dance that dance again
