Lyrics
One Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You only get one life
(One life, one life, one life)
You only get one life
(One life, one life, one life)
Yeah yeah
Smile sometimes
Cry sometimes
Stop and take a moment to breathe
(Hey, hey, hey)
Stay up late, out all night
Sit at home and just watch some TV
(Hey, hey, hey)
When they come to write your story
Tell me what will they say (oh oh)
Life can be a lovely picture
If you paint it that way
Starting today, today
If you never did before
And you never do again
Let's live today like there's no tomorrow
So no matter who you are
Do yourself a favour
And live as if you know
Love as if you know
You only get one life (nana na nana na)
You only get one life (nana na nana na)
Keep your friends by your side
But appreciate time to yourself
(Hey, hey, hey)
Then if somebody takes the time to love you
Take the time to love somebody else
(Hey, hey, hey)
When they come to write your story
Tell me what will they say (oh oh)
Life can be a lovely picture
If you paint it that way
Starting today, today
If you never did before
And you never do again
Let's live today like there's no tomorrow
So no matter who you are
Do yourself a favour
And live as if you know
Love as if you know
You only get one life (nana na nana na)
You only get one life (nana na nana na)
So when you get a moment
Then you gotta own it
Gotta make a jolts
Gotta live it to the fullest
So when you get a moment
Oh then you gotta own it
Gotta make a jolts
Gotta live it to the fullest
If you never did before
And you never do again
Let's live today like there's no tomorrow
So no matter who you are
Do yourself a favour
And live as if you know
Love as if you know
If you never did before
And you never do again
Let's live today like there's no tomorrow
So no matter who you are
Do yourself a favour
And live as if you know
Love as if you know
You only get one life (nana na nana na)
One life, one life, one life
