| Oh child, will you ever get by?
|
| Will you listen to things I say?
|
| We don't know the difference from your wrong or right
|
| We'll learn it along the way
|
| Oh child, will you drink in the night?
|
| Will you make all the same mistakes?
|
| Do you get around with chasing all the highs
|
| Forget all on your lowest day
|
| And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regret
|
| From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget
|
| Oh, my father before he left
|
| Oh, there's one thing I wish he said
|
| "Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again"
|
| Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry
|
| Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay
|
| Oh child, oh child, no you won't get this life again
|
| Oh child, oh child
|
| Oh child, will you travel the world?
|
| And see all of the things I missed?
|
| You can tell me all about it when you're back
|
| Like I always did
|
| Oh child, maybe you can fall in love with a husband, or a wife
|
| If you're happy when the road is getting rough
|
| I'll be right there by your side
|
| And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regret
|
| From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget
|
| Oh, my father before he left
|
| Oh, there's one thing I wish he said
|
| "Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again"
|
| No, you won't get this life again
|
| No, you won't get this life again
|
| Oh child, oh child
|
| Oh child, oh child
|
| Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry
|
| Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay
|
| Oh child, oh child
|
| Oh child, oh child
|
| Oh child, will you know this song?
|
| When I'm gonna fade away
|
| Will you sing it back?
|
| I know it word for word
|
| Back to your child one day
|
| No, no, don't you worry
|
| Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry
|
| Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay
|
| Oh child, oh child, no you won't get this life again
|
| Oh child, oh child
|
| Oh child, oh child, no you won't get this life again |
