Duke Ellington - Settle for Less [#] lyrics
The first thing you learn Is the dream must be tall A dream that is small Ain't worth dreaming at all But reach for the stars And an apple may fall From the sky If you're lucky, an apple may fall from the star-spangled sky The next thing you learn Is to get through each day Without ever once Letting hope slip away For once you are hopeless You might as well lay Down and die Yes, you might as well lay yourself down in the gutter and die The next thing you learn Is the hardest to learn But you'll use it as long as you live It's the oldest of rules And the wisest of rules And it's simply? You get what you give? But the last thing you learn Is the best thing, I guess When the dream has gone smash And you're left with the mess And you know in a flash You must settle for less Than that castle in Spain Or that certain caress What a bless- ing to learn you are willing to settle for less |
