IF ONLY I COULD LIVE MY LIFE AGAIN
1959
Amade/Delanoe/Becaud/Leigton
If only I could live my life again
I wouldn’t search for wealth or fame or power
I’d search for friends and if I found a few
I’d serve them well my every waking hour
Oh, to live my life again
If only I could have another chance
I’d spend more time just being nice to people
My soul would find that building with a steeple
If only I could live my life again
If only I could live my life again
I wouldn’t take so many things for granted
I wouldn’t make the same mistakes again
And I’d destroy each bitter seed I planted
Oh, to live my life again
I’d try to change, to smile a little more
I’d try to change, to always be forgiving
I’d change my ways for as long as I am living
One thing remains in everything I do
I’d never change my endless love for you
