When It's Gone

I wanna stand upon a rock

And watch the river flow

With the blue sky above me

And the valley down below

I wanna hold my head up high

And listen to the wind

'Cause when it's gone

It won't be back again

I wanna sing the kinda 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 better do the best you can

'Cause when it's gone

It won't be back again

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

I wanna find forever

In every moment that we spend

'Cause when it's gone

It won't be back again

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

I wanna 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 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
