Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass
You know his faults now let his foibles pass
Lift is one long enigma my friend
So read on, read on, the answer's at the end

And don't be so hard on the ones that you love
It's the ones that you, love we think so little of
Don't be so hard on the ones that you need
It's the ones that you need, we think so little of

The speech of flowers excels the flowers of speech
But what's often in your heart is the hardest thing to reach
and life is one long mystery my friend
So live on, live on, the answer's at the end

So don 't be so hard on the ones that you love
It's the ones that you loze, we think so little of
Don t be so hard on the ones that you need
lt's the ones that you need, we think so little of

Ooh we think so little of the ones that we love; sometimes
and Isn't it a pity how we hurt
the ones that we love the most of all
The ones we shouldn't hurt at all

You know my faults now let my foibles pass
Life is one long enigma my friend
Live on, live on the, the answer'
