Just One Life
C F
I did not know you, our lives never touched
Am Em
'Til the day they gathered, to bid you farewell
F G
And they painted your picture, and I looked around
D C
I felt I saw you, in the words and the sound
C F
Your talent came flowing, through the stories they tell
Am Em
And through the faces, of those who loved you so well
F G
Your life gave them a treasure, a piece of themselves
D C
Something they carry, and still serves them well
F C
Just One Life, just One Life
F C G D
Just One Life, that is born, and is, and is gone
F C G D
Just One Life, and I'm so glad to know you, as I know you now
C F
Perhaps inside you, you were messed up like me
Am Em
But to them you were whole and strong, and friend in their need
F G
And what you left behind you, and what swept over me
D C
Says that your life's work, Rolls on and on, a piece of eternity
F C
Just One Life, just One Life
F C G D
Just One Life, that is born, and is, and is gone
F C G D
Just One Life, Did you ever get a chance to find out, what life’s all about
C F
I did not know you, our lives never touched
Am Em
'Til the day we gathered, to say our farewells
