Lyrics Gilbert O’Sullivan – The Same The Whole World Over

It looks the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
Writing that is on the wall
Is there to remind us all

Remember as a kid
How you couldn’t wait to be big
But now that you’ve done that
What you wouldn’t give
If only to go back

It’s the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
No matter what excuse you give
Hold on, just one life to live

Some don’t disapprove
They say there must be something that we can do
But you know as well as I
It’s the only thing money cannot buy

And I don’t think that one night
Got me all night back
Providing you
?
to live for
There’s no reason to be sad

It’s the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
?
you know it’s gonna happen to you

Her eyes only once told me
?

Don’t go wasting time
What lies up ahead soon will be behind
I must say she’s right
It’s soon or is it dark, suddenly it’s light

I don’t think that one life got me
?
But having you live it to the full
There’s no reason to be sad

It’s the same the whole world over
Every year we get a little bit older
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
?
you know it’s gonna happen to you
