“This song was written on my first trip to Ireland, in Westport-By-The-Sea, with my two new Irish friends.We had written a song that won the Irish Song Contest, so I came to Ireland for my first visit and they were showing me the country. We wanted to change the world for the better, just a tiny little bit better, please, with a song. And with this delightful recording, we're on our way...” ~ Jack Tempchin

You've been living in the shadow of a dream,
that's locked inside of you
Is there one thing, that you know you really love,
and always meant to do

You only live once, so take your chance today,
your sails might catch the wind
Don't want to be, looking back someday,
wondering what might have been

River time, only flows one way,
doesn't wait for you or me
You must find a place in life,
where you were meant to be

You only live once, so take your chance today,
your sails might catch the wind
Don't want to be, looking back someday,
wondering what might have been

If you find love, you’re the lucky one,
it's like the sun that warms the land
Just believe it, keep it in your heart,
you hold the world right in your hand

You only live once, so take your chance today,
your sails might catch the wind
Don't want to be, looking back someday,
wondering what might have been

You only live once, so take your chance today,
your sails might catch the wind
Don't want to be, looking back someday,
wondering what might have been

You only live once
