Morrison, James - One Life Lyrics
When I was a young boy
I was living for the moment
The world was wide open
I had every choice
But with so many choices
All I say is just forget it
If you tell me I’ll regret it
Just let it be what it is
Coz it’s so easy to say
If I knew yesterday what I know today
Where would I be tomorrow
I won’t let my soul slide away
I’d do whatever it takes
Coz this time’s only borrowed
I got one life, one life, one life
And I’m gonna live it
I got one life, one life, one life
And I’m gonna live it right
My daddy sat me down
He said “Son, it’s probably time to start making some plans”
And I said “No, not right now”
With so many choices
I just didn’t know what to do now
All I say is just forget it
If you tell me I’ll regret it
Just let it be what it is
Coz it’s so easy to say
If I knew yesterday what I know today
Where would I be tomorrow
I won’t let my soul slide away
I’d do whatever it takes
Coz this time’s only borrowed
I got one life, one life, one life
And I’m gonna live it
I got one life, one life, one life
And I’m gonna live it right
You say the more you think
You know what’s right
The less you do
What you feel inside
So I won’t pretend that I always know
I just follow my heart wherever it goes
And I may not always get it right
But at least I’m living coz I’ve only got this…
One life, one life, one life
I’ve got this one life
If I knew yesterday what I know today
Where would I be tomorrow
I won’t let my soul slide away
I’d do whatever it takes
Coz this time’s only borrowed
I got one life, one life, one life
And I’m gonna live it
I got one life, one life, one life
And I’m gonna live it right
When I’m an old man
Hope I’ll be rocking in my chair
Smiling to myself
I’ll tell my baby girl
You only got one life
So make sure you live it right

and now i found somthing new for me to go to and not come back or look back either.
the feels
Whooping cough as a child changed his voice. Wonder how he would have sounded had he not gotten sick. All that coughing burned his throat, but out of the ashes left behind came something really special.
great great voice!!!
one life....one life & im gonna live it 👍😊 such a talented artist.
This voice!!! this song! wow
Why am I just discovering this now? Freedom is something else...

He's by far one of my all time favourites. This is his best song imo , If you get the chance to see him live then grab it as he is incredible. He blew the roof off Bristol. Decent modest human being with outstanding talent 🙌
Couldn't agree more,been to see him live about 6 times now and he just gets better and better.
clare smith High five sister!! 😁
He's so underated it kills me, I just don't understand why though....😕
Hes so down to earth too. Met him a few times :) xXx

Sem mais palavras.
this song heard like 2005s music.. cool
God I love you amen and hallelujah
We all know why we have come to this song...............
Keep the heads up people.
SaphRetuks ING Well, I might me wrong but if you don't get it's because you never come to a point when you want to end it... When you can't hold anymore the situations that haunt you. well, we only have one life, and we got to live it well, keeping our head straight up... even in the most difficult times, we got to keep moving. It doesn't count the times you are knocked down, it's the times you get back up. :) Be happy always ! you, and everyone, including me :) Have a nice day! ;)
The KrOOb Thanks for explaining, have a nice day to you too. I'm guessing that's a phase? I've been through it a couple times. :)
The KrOOb so true this song reminds me of my grandfather who died of cancer and he fought for his life and I don't feel the same without him💔
Because we have one life that's yours and mine <3
❤️ keep on hanging in there..
Always good music as always James. I love your voice. Since your first album i still listen to your music until now.
Can't wait to hear his new album!! 😊😀 #ThisIsProperMusic
+Miss Claire Mignolet you arent the only one wanted to hear the new album too
Wonderful!
Loving you is the one thing I don't regret in my life...
I love this Soulful Gentleman...Mmm ;-)
