[Verse 1]
G I wanna stand upon a rock and watch the river flow C G With the blue sky above me and the valley down below G (Walk down to Em) I wanna hold my head up high and listen to the wind G D C G 'Cause when it's gone it won't be back again
[Verse 2]
G I wanna sing the kind of songs that my dad sang to me C G Try to be the man he hoped that I would be G (Walk down to Em) He said you only get one chance, you better do the best you can G D C G 'Cause when it's gone it won't be back again
[Chorus]
D C G I wanna wear my Sunday coat and hold your hand in mine D C D And hear you say you'll love me until the end of time G (Walk down to Em) I wanna find forever in every moment that we spend G D C G 'Cause when it's gone it won't be back again
