                           "Time For Livin'"
                      (Don Addrisi - Dick Addrisi)

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

  From the composers of "Never My Love", this is the Addrisi Brothers at
  their fun lovin' best.  This song debuted on "Top Of The Pops" when the
  group was in London.  Unique vocal arrangement drops one half-tone on
  each repeat of the fade.

Verse 1:

	                                                     
	I kicked off my shoes and felt the good earth under my feet
	                                               
	I loosened my tie and saw what it feels like to breathe
	                          
	I found the secret to life
	             
	I took some time for livin'

Verse 2:

	I took off my watch and found I had all the time in the world
	I opened my arms so I could hold life like a beautiful girl
	          +                   /     /
	I laid down  all of my hangups forever
	                
	Hey look, I've changed
	                 
	My attitude's been rearranged
	    
	From now on I'm taking some

Chorus:

	                                    
	   Time   for livin', groovin' on everything
	                   
	Life is givin', from now on I'm taking
	      
	Time...
	    Cbmaj7
	For life

[repeat intro]

Verse 3 [chords as per verse 2]:

	Too busy to stop and notice the things that are real
	Embarassed to talk about all the things that I feel
	It's so strange never noticed the world all around me
	Hey look, I've changed
	My attitude's been rearranged
	From now on I'm taking some

Chorus [repeat to fade, half-step lower each time]

	                                    
	   Time   for livin', groovin' on everything
	                   
	Life is givin', from now on I'm taking
	      
	Time...
	     
	For life
