When It`s Gone — текст песни (nitty gritty dirt band)

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.
