You Never Can Tell

Peter Coats

The seasons come and the seasons go
The Summer brings sun and the Winter snow
But you never can tell the way the wind's gonna blow
No you never can tell
You never can tell if the sun's gonna shine
If it's gonna rain or it's gonna be fine
And the weatherman might just change his mind
So you never can tell

No you never can tell what's coming your way
So make the most of every day
Cos you're never gonna get the chance to live your life again
No you never can tell what lies ahead
And soon enough we'll all be dead
So go to town and paint it red
Cos you never can tell

Now you may have the perfect plan
To grab the whole world in your hand
But what you got to understand
Is that you never can tell
Some of the best-laid plans can fail
And you might even land in jail
Not knowing if you're going to Heaven or Hell
Cos you never can tell

No you never can tell what life may bring
So just enjoy it, that's the thing
Sit back and listen to the bluebirds sing
Don't kill yourself just making dough
Cos if there's one thing that I know
You can't take it with you when you go
And you never can tell

No you never can tell when life may end
So just enjoy yourself my friend
Cos you never can tell what might be waiting round the bend
Don't pin your hopes on a wishing well
Lucky charm or magic spell
You only get one life so live it well
And you never can tell

No you never can tell when life may end
So just enjoy yourself my friend
Cos you never can tell what might be waiting round the bend
Don't pin your hopes on a wishing well
Lucky charm or magic spell
You only get one life so live it well
And you never can tell
You only get one life so live it well
And you never can tell
