i want to stand upon a rock and watch the river flow with the blue sky above me and the valley down below i want to hold my head up high and listen to the wind cause when it s gone it won t be back again i want to sing the kind of songs that my dad sang to me and try to be the man he hoped that i would be he said you only get one chance you d better do the best you can cause when it s gone it won t be back again i want to wear my sunday coat and hold your hand in mine and hear you say you ll love me until the end of time i want to find forever in every moment that we spend cause when it s gone it won t be back again i want to wear my sunday coat and hold your hand in mine and hear you say you ll love me until the end of time i want to stand upon a rock like i did when i was young and hold you close beside me and watch our children run cause you only get one chance to listen to th wind and when it s gone it won t be back again we only get one chance so listen to the wind cause when it s gone it won t be back again
