One Chance At A Time
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Glen Ballard
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins



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 

Chorus: 

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? 

Chorus 

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
