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
