[F]
I want to stand upon a rock and watch the river [Eb] flow [Bb] with the blue sky above me and
[F]
listen [E] to [Dm] the waves.
[F] When [C] it's gone it won't be [Gm] back [F] again.
I want to sing the kind of
song that my dad sang to [Eb] me.
[Bb] Try to be the man he hoped [F] that I would be.
He said, I'm
not going to be a man.
He said, you only get one chance.
You better [Am] do the [Dm] best you can.
[F] Because when [C] it's gone it won't [Bb] be back [F] again.
I want [C] to wear my Sunday coat [Bb] and hold your
[F] hand in mine.
[C] And hear you say you love me [Bb] until [C] the end of time.
