Life is vanity like dew drops on the grass,
flashing and flaring out in the sun.
People come and go, but no one tarries forever.
After all, life is just vanity.
Life is vanity like falling leaves in the wind,
spotted and soiled in harsh rain and snow.
Days and nights go by, slipping through the ages.
After all, life is just vanity.
Clouds floating in the sky, where are you headed now?
On a foamy, flowery journey, where are you headed now?
Thru the glossy trails of life into far eternity..
After all, life is just vanity.
Life is vanity like shiny stars in the dark,
glittering and glaring out thru the night.
Smiling and sighing, laughing and crying..
After all, life is just vanity.
Clouds floating in the sky, where are you headed now?
On a foamy, flowery journey, where are you headed now?
Thru the glossy trails of life into far eternity..
After all, life is just vanity.
