We May Never Pass This Way (Again)

<br>(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals &amp; Dash Crofts, 1973)<br>From the albums DIAMOND GIRL (1973), GREATEST HITS (1975), <br>THE SEALS &amp; CROFTS COLLECTION (1979) and LIFT UP YOUR VOICES AND SING, VOL. 2 (1997). <br><br>[During their tour in 1992, S &amp; C substituted the word &quot;Magellan&quot; for the word <br>&quot;Columbus&quot; in this song -- at least at a concert they gave at the now defunct Circle<br>Star Theater in Redwood City, Ca. As an Italian-American, I was shocked. The lyric was<br>restored when they returned to the Bay Area and played at a Saratoga winery several months later -- AB] <br><br>Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.<br>Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin` but it`s only just begun.<br>Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don`t see just where we`re goin`.<br>And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears<br>And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.<br>We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.<br>We may never pass this way again.<br><br>Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let `em drift away.<br>Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin` but it`s only just begun.<br>Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.<br>Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears<br>And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.<br>We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.<br>We may never pass this way again.<br><br>So, I wanna laugh while the laughin` is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.<br>We may never pass this way again, that`s why I want it with you.<br>`Cause, you make me feel like I`m more than a friend. Like I`m the journey and you`re the journey`s end.<br>We may never pass this way again, that`s why I want it with you, baby.<br><br>We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.<br>We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
