Four Songtext
von Laurie Wheeler

Of the wonderful things that you get out of life
There are four
And there may not be many
But nobody needs any more
Of the many facts
Make it the least of life
Truth takes the lead
And to relax
Knowin′ the gist of life
Well, it's truth you need
And second is honor
And happiness makes number three
When you put them together
You know what the last one will be
Baby, so there′s truth, honor and happiness
And one thing more
Meaning all the wonderful, wonderful laws
That make it work
Don't you know the score?
Well, people when they're younger


Never realize
Pleasure, treasure, highs
Gods
But as they grow older
They realize a lot
They get their minds on all the wrong it seems
And things that cost a lot of money
But are really very funny
They fade away
And don′t amount to a hill of beans
Funny how the things in life
We really should adore
We forget or ignore
And end up poor
Like makin′ money till you're nigh on the madness
That defeats sadness
Youth is the time when we should see the light
′Cause when we're old and wasted
The taste of life that makes us feel so high
That we′ll pay to die then
But it's the people made us strong
Let′s face it when we're young
So enjoy it daily
Live life and love it gaily
You'll find
A lot of things to give you joy
And bring peace of mind
Well get it while the gettin′s good
And everybody′s the only good
Life could be a set
Life could be a groovy set
Almost as groovy as a movie
Well, be young
Let your voice be heard
Spread the word
Everybody here's got ears
I′m gonna teach 'em how to use ′em
Not abuse 'em
So take a hint from me
The world′s everything it ought to be
As long as you can be sure
That there is no more
To love in the same old bore
Hard to believe, I know
But time will show
That even other things
The four sweet things together
Constitute a force
And that's all
Four is bigger
That's all
It couldn′t get any bigger
Doesn′t matter how you slice it up
You never change it
You've got everything
Faithful′s a light spot
Stupid's a fool
So don′t you cop
Well, having a ton to give
Is the simple touch
Settin' it apart from all the rest
Hey, hey, hey, you love a little
You give a little
You take a little
You give a lot
Still it totals happiness
Just because it′s good
It'll all add to this truth
And I'm sure to love
Nobody to take it from
