Gary Fjellgaard Song Lyrics > Contenders Two: Still in the Running

You only live once / In awhile
So let’s live for the day / We’re alive
Between the first step / And the last mile
We only live once / In awhile

The hobo has taken / The last milk train home
The blue bird has packed up / Her singing and gone
My lady and me / Will be up for the dawn
We only live once / In awhile

See the willow / How she catches the wind
Following me / Down the road / Round the bend
Over the years / She has taught me my friends
That we only live once / In awhile
