"slip slidin away, slip slidin away, you know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin away
oh i know a man, he came from my home town, he wore his passion for his woman, like a thorny crown
he said, 'deloris, i live in fear, my love for you is overpowering, and i'm afraid i'll disappear'
slip slidin away, slip slidin away, you know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin away
i know a woman, she became wise, these are the very words she uses, to describe her life
she said a good day ain't got no rain, she said a bad day's when i lie in bed, and think of things i might have known
slip slidin away, slip slidin away, you know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin away
and i know a father who had a son, he longed to tell him, all the reasons, for the things he's done
he came a long way just to explain, he kissed his boy as he lay sleeping, then he turned away, and headed home again
slip slidin away, slip slidin away, you know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin away
oh god only knows, god makes his plan, the information's unavailable to the mortal man, we're workin our jobs, collect our pay, believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip slidin away
slip slidin away, slip slidin away, you know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin away" ~Slip Slidin'

"now that i've lost everything to you, you say you wanna start something new, and it's breakin my heart you're leavin, baby i'm greivin
but if you wanna leave, take good care, i hope you have a lotta nice things to wear, i heard a lotta nice things turn bad out there"
oh baby baby it's a wild world, it's hard to get by just upon a smile, oh baby baby it's a wild world, and i'll always remember you like a child girl
oh i love you, but if you wanna leave, take good care, i hope you make a lotta nice friends out there, but just remember there's a lotta bad everywhere
oh baby baby it's a wild world, it's hard to get by just upon a smile, oh baby baby it's a wild world, and i'll always remember you like a child girl" ~Wild World
(and yes...i know that's not the whole song...those are my favorite versus...don't ask questions!!!) hehe
