Smiling in the Face of Certain Death Lyrics

People ask me why,
I'm such a happy smiling guy,
And with a wink and a nod,
I issue my reply.
I wave, smile and say each hello,
As if it were my last goodbye,
Because someday, perhaps soon,
We're all bound to die.
One by one, or all at once.
It's a fact of life, and not a hunch.

So why live a life full of regrets,
Unpaid respects and things unsaid.
I learned so long ago
To make the best of things
Because nothing lasts forever
Not even your friends
Your friends
Your friends
Your friends
