Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to wake up in the morning I used to lay to rest in style But then I couldn't recall a single thing That made the day worthwile I used to daydream all the morning And dream on through the day Till I heard a wise man preaching And these are the words he'd say [Chorus] I ain't got time to kill in the morning I ain't got time to kill in the day I ain't got time to kill nobody, Lord Or lead a good friend astray I just got a little time in the morning Just got a little time through the day I just got enough time to live out my life And live it in every way [Verse 2] I used to yearn for gold and riches And a masterpiece for the wall But the more I got the more I craved So it doesn't make sense at all So I took out the book of Wisdom Which has never been so true And right before my eyes Was what was meant for me and you [Chorus] I ain't got time to kill in the morning I ain't got time to kill in the day I ain't got time to kill nobody, Lord Or lead a good friend astray I just got a little time in the morning Just got a little time through the day I just got enough time to live out my life And live it in every way [Verse 3] I remember Mr. Clemens As he sailed around the bend He said, "All men will be dreamers And all dreamers will be men." Course I still dream every now and then But when I do it don't take long I just dream about a big round world Where everyone sings their song [Chorus] I ain't got time to kill in the morning I ain't got time to kill in the day I ain't got time to kill nobody, Lord Or lead a good friend astray I just got a little time in the morning Just got a little time through the day I just got enough time to live out my life And live it in every way
