A Man Has Dreams (The Life I Lead)(A Spoonful Of Sugar) Lyrics

A man has dreams of walking with giantsTo carve his niche in the edifice of timeBefore the mortar of his zealHas a chance to congealThe cup is dashed from his lipsThe flame is snuffed aborningHe's brought to rack and ruin in his primeMy world was calm, well ordered, exemplaryThen came this person, with chaosin her wakeAnd now my life's ambitions gowith one fell blowIt's quite a bitter pill to takeA spoonfull of sugar goes a long, long way'Ave yourself a 'ealthy 'elpin' ev'ry dayYou're a man of 'igh positionEsteemed by your peersAnd when your little tykes are cryin'You 'aven't time to dry their tearsAnd see them grateful little facesSmilin' up at youBecause thei rdad, 'e always knowsjust what to doYou've got to grind, grind, grindat that grindstoneThough child'ood slips like sand througha sieveAnd all too soon they've flownAnd it's too late for you to giveJust that spoonful of sugar to 'elpthe medicine go downThe mediine go dow-wown, medicine dodown
