William Reedy: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This is a song to sing as we laugh in the face of despair.

I dreamed I was Beethoven, I couldn’t hear a thing
Said I, “Though I can’t even hear the church bells when they ring
To one simple pleasure forever will I cling
I’ll stop and smell the roses while I can
Chorus...
Stop and Smell the Roses any time you can
Whether you’re a child or a woman or a man
Do yourself a favor and have a little plan
To Stop and Smell the Roses while you can

Problems follow me around morning, noon and night
Till it seems like I can’t get through the day without a fight
Even when it looks like nothing ever will go right
I’ll Stop and Smell the Roses while I can
Chorus...

Things are tough all over, I don’t think I can cope
This time I think I have come to the end of my rope
Even though I’ve lost all my faith and all my hope
I’ll Stop and Smell the Roses while I can
Chorus...
