When It's Gone lyrics

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,

I wanna 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.

And 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

You only get one chance to listen to the 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

Yeah, when it's gone, it won't be back again
