This Door Swings Both Ways - Herman's Hermits

Everyone's life is bittersweet

It's a door that opens wide

And no man can call himself complete

Till he's seen it from both sides

This door swings both ways

It's marked 'In' and 'Out'

Some days, you'll want to cry

And some days, you will shout

This door swings both ways

It goes back and forth

In comes a southern breeze

Or a cold wind from the north

This door swings both ways

Lets in joy and pain

In comes the morning sun

And then the evening rain

This door swings both ways

Lets in dark and light

Every day you make the choice

To let in wrong or right

When shadows fall

You must prepare yourself for sunshine

For everything, there is an end

And so, my friend, you must be brave

This door swings both ways

Which one will it be

Will we live in happiness

Or dwell in misery

This door swings both ways

Lets in earth and sky

Make the most of livin'

If you're not prepared to die

Make the most of livin'

If you're not prepared to die
