If I Could Live My Life Again - DAN HILL

If I could live my life again, there’s things I’d change, but then

I’m still standing here with you by my side

If I could live my life once more, differently than before

I’d reach out to the loved one that I’ve long-since left behind

I’d little longer, I’d enjoy the simple things in life

Wouldn’t be so quick to criticize the things I could not change

I’d make more love, I wouldn’t try to change the people in my life

I’d take a breath and realize that nothing stays the same

If I could live my life again, I’d open up my heart and then

I’d make a toast to all the friends who sat by me through the years

If I could do it all today, differently than yesterday

I finally learned along the way, love’s the reason we’re still here

The little things we’re fighting for don’t mean you have to go to war

'Cause things are never as before so we live life day to day

And try to let the small things go, be little less the more that you know

And float above the undertow, count our blessings along the way

If I could live my life then I’d learn the art of compromise

I wouldn’t be afraid to cry, let the tears fall as they will

If I should come across as strange, that might be the price I pay

For living honestly and never backing down and still

I’d lay my life down on the line, for family both yours and mine

'Cause nothing else can define who we are and what we’ve done

I’d close my eyes and give in to the forces that prevail within

I would out my arms and let love in, let it shine on everyone

If I, if I

Could live my life once again
