If I could lF#ove you for eternity, I wC#ould
But I reG#gret
I've only got C#one life; I've only got one life
An' one F#lifetime's just not long enough to C#live
I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart
And I wF#ish I had a hundred more to gG#ive
Girl, thF#ere's so little time and so mG#uch I want to F#do
But I've oC#nly got one liF#fe to love someone like yC#ou.
Can't take my eF#yes off you, I'm afraid of what I'll mC#iss
It goes by so fast
So I'll trF#eat each moment that I've been blessed, with yC#ou
Like it's the laG#st.
I've only got C#one life; I've only got one life
An' one F#lifetime's just not long enough to C#live

INTRO

F# C#

If there's a way of makin' time stand still for good

I haven't found it yet

F# C#

If I could love you for eternity, I would

But I regret

I've only got one life; I've only got one life

F# C#

An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live

I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart

F# G#

And I wish I had a hundred more to give

F# G# F#

Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do

C# F# C#

But I've only got one life to love someone like you.

F# C#

Can't take my eyes off you, I'm afraid of what I'll miss

It goes by so fast

F# C#

So I'll treat each moment that I've been blessed, with you

Like it's the last.

I've only got one life; I've only got one life

F# C#

An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live

I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart

F# G#

And I wish I had a hundred more to give

Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do

C# F# C#

But I've only got one life to love someone like you.
