The Party


I
You think life's just a party A carousel of fun
You like to play the days away As if tomorrow won't come
Just as long as friends are around Life is so carefree and gay
So eat, drink, be merry today Life's just a game we play

Chorus:
But someday the party will be over The fun and laughter gone
Your friends will leave and all go home Then you'll be left alone
All of the signs of gaiety You knew just hours before
Will lie so cold and silent just dust upon the floor
Then it will be just you and your soul to spend the long night through
Then how you'll wish you'd known the Lord And that the Lord knew you

II
You live for this life only ignoring the one to come
Forgetting that someday you'll answer For all the deeds you have done
You like to joke about heaven and say it can't be true
So go right on with the party That's whats important to you

Chorus

But someday the party will be over the fun and laughter gone
Your friends will leave and all go home Then you'll be left all alone
All of the signs of gaiety You knew just hours before
Will lie so cold and silent just dust upon the floor
Then it will be just you and your soul to spend the long night through
Then how you'll wish that you knew the Lord and that the Lord knew you
Oh how you'll wish that you knew the Lord and that the Lord knew you
Someday you'll wish that you knew the lord and that the Lord knew you.
