Kenny Loggins — One Chance at a Time lyrics

Lyrics

Hello there
You tell me You got a lot of real respect
For my kind
The old timers
I'm old enough to know the rules.
But nobody gave me the book
I had to learn to improvise myself
'n time 'n time I let me down
Until I learned the hard way
How to feel
What's real
But you get one chance at a life
To give it all and get it right
'n after all this time in mine
Everything I thought I knew
Was tellin' me To give it up And leave it all behind
But you get endless second chances
To take it one chance at a time
For love 'n money
I made a lot-a dumb mistakes
In my time
Believe me I proved and proved it I can't believe I'm gonna prove it again
It's time to reinvent myself
But where the hell does the fire come from
When makin' it don't make it anymore?
Time and love
I been lookin' all my life
For time and love
Hoping a breeze will come 'n take me I been waiting
And waiting
And sailing in one place
Like a bird against the wind
Afraid to turn and fly away
