[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
