Live For Life

Tony Bennett

Written by Norman Gimbel and Francis Albert Lai



This version did not chart but

In 1967 Jack Jones took it to # 99

Title song from the film starring Yves Montand and Candice Bergen which was a follow-up to

director Claude Lelouche's "A Man and A woman"



Come with me, my love, and seize this day and live it, live it fully, live it fast

Never thinking once about tomorrow till tomorrow's been and gone and past

We'll pour the wine and fill the cup of joy and drink a drink as if it were the last

Live, just live for life



In Paree today and Amsterdam tomorrow, sixty minutes through the skies

Fly with me to see the setting summer sun and stay with me to see it rise

Then say to those who say "to live this way is mad", then mad we'd rather be than wise

Live, just live for life



If you let me I will lead you

Through the myst'ry and wonder

Of a world you've never known before

Share the splendors to be shared

Magic places to explore

There the dangers to be dared

Life is all of this and more

This and more



Yesterday's a mem'ry gone for good forever while tomorrow is a guess

What is real is what is here and now, the here and now is all that we possess

So take my hand and we will taste the moment if for just the moment's happiness

Live, just live for life



Live, just live for life

Live, just live for life

Live, just live for life
