If I would like to make the best compliment to the singer, it would be: he has his own style.
You hear him singing, and you do not even to know the song - it's Daniel Lavoie.

The truth of it all

Lyrics and music: Daniel Lavoie


Well I had it in my mind that if I really took the time
I’d eventually find the truth
But the truth of it all is as the years go by
I don't really care if I do
Oh happiness is fine if you've got the money
And you've got the time
Maybe join a club that gives you peace of mind
Or wonder half your life if the right stars shine
So you can go to heaven a healthy ninety-nine

Well I had it in my mind that if I really took the time
I could find the perfect girl
But perfect girls are a lot like me
They aren’t perfect every day
Oh, love is fine
Takes you to the moon and makes you sing the blues
You never win and you never lose
You're never chosen and you never choose
Can't even trust myself
So how can I trust you

Well I had it in my mind that if I really took the time
I could write the greatest song
But greatest songs seem to take more than time
And in the end who's to know what's great
Oh writing songs is fine
Couldn't tell you why I wouldn't want to try
Take them as they are or leave them as they come
An up-and coming star or a foot tapping bum
Who can take to gin when he runs out of rum
