When It’s Gone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wanna stand upon a rock And watch the river flow With the blue sky above me And the valley down below [Chorus] I wanna hold my head up high And listen to the wind 'Cause when it's gone It won't be back again [Verse 2] I wanna sing the kind of songs That my dad sang to me And try to be the man He hoped that I would be [Chorus] He said, "You only get one chance You better do the best you can 'Cause when it's gone It won't be back again" [Verse 4] I wanna wear my Sunday coat And hold your hand in mine And hear you say you'll love me Until the end of time [Chorus] I wanna find forever In every moment that we spend 'Cause when it's gone It won't be back again [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] 'Cause you only get one chance To listen to the wind And when it's gone It won't be back again [Chorus] We only get one chance So listen to the wind 'Cause when it's gone It won't be back again [Outro] Yeah, when it's gone It won't be back again
