Raise the window on another day Take it as it comes Just an actor waiting for a new play Take it as it comes Ask me to dance, I will dance for you Ask me to sing, and see what I do If you feel sad, I'll make jokes for you I'm a handyman, I'm still coming through If you suffer from a broken heart Take it as it comes If your lover tears your world all apart Take it as it comes I've played a king and a down and and out fool Some like it hot, some like it cool Do what they want, but don't be their tool Savor the throne, don't mind the stool Carry on, carry on, carry on ... If they go too far, that's the way things are Though it may hurt some, take it as it comes We're all skating on the thinnest of ice Got to take it as it comes In a world that is not so very nice Got to take it as it comes Any day now the curtain may fall All the plays end, there's no curtain call If you live sad, or if you walk tall We're written on a wind that's a lot to haul Carry on, carry on, carry on ... If they go too far, that's the way things are Though your mind gets numb, take it as it comes
