Time For Livin

(Don Addrisi - Dick Addrisi)

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master

Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

From the composers of "Never My Love", this is the Addrisi Brothers at

their fun lovin' best. This song debuted on "Top Of The Pops" when the

group was in London. Unique vocal arrangement drops one half-tone on

each repeat of the fade.

Verse 1:

I kicked off my shoes and felt the good earth under my feet

I loosened my tie and saw what it feels like to breathe

I found the secret to life

I took some time for livin'

[bass: last bar of intro]

Verse 2:

I took off my watch and found I had all the time in the world

I opened my arms so I could hold life like a beautiful girl

I laid down all of my hangups forever

Hey look, I've changed

My attitude's been rearranged

From now on I'm taking some

Time for livin', groovin' on everything

Life is givin', from now on I'm taking

Time...

For life

Verse 3 [chords as per verse 2]:

Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real

Embarassed to talk about all the things that I feel

It's so strange never noticed the world all around me

Hey look, I've changed

My attitude's been rearranged

From now on I'm taking some

Chorus [repeat to fade, half-step lower each time]

Time for livin', groovin' on everything

Life is givin', from now on I'm taking

Time...

For life
