Lyrics

Each day I (D)live

I want to be

a day to (A)give

the best of me.

I’m on ly (D)one

but not a (G)lone,

my fi nest (A)day

is yet un known

I broke my (D)heart

for ev ’ry gain,

to taste the (A)sweet

I faced the pain.

I rise and (D)fall,

yet through it (G)all

this much re (A)mains.

(G)I want (D)one mo ment in (Bm)time

when I’m (Em)more than I thought I (A)could be.

When (G)all of my (A)dreams are a (D)heart beat a (Bm)way and the (Em)ans wers are all up to (A)me.

Give me (D)one mo ment in (Bm)time,

when I’m (Em)rac ing with des ti (A)ny,

(G)then (A)in that one (D)mo ment in (Bm7)time, I will (Em)feel,

I will (Asus4)feel

e ter ni (D)ty.

I’ve lived to (D)be

the ve ry best,

I want it (A)all,

no time for less.

I’ve laid the (D)plans,

now lay the (G)chance

here in my (A)hands.

(G)Give me (D)one mo ment in (Bm)time

when I’m (Em)more than I thought I (A)could be.

When (G)all of my (A)dreams are a (D)heart beat a (Bm)way and the (Em)ans wers are all up to (A)me.

Give me (D)one mo ment in (Bm)time,

when I’m (Em)rac ing with des ti (A)ny,

(G)then (A)in that one (D)mo ment in (Bm7)time, I will (Em)feel,

I will (Asus4)feel

e ter ni (D)ty.

e ter ni (D)ty.

You’re a win ner for a life time, if you seize that one mo ment in (A)time,

make it (Bb)shine.

(Ab)Give me (Eb)one mo ment in (Cm)time,

when I’m (Fm7)more than I thought I could (Bb)be.

When (Ab)all of my (Bb)dreams are a (Eb)heart beat a (Cm)way and the (Fm)ans wers are all up to (Bbsus4)me.

(Bb)Give me (Eb)one mo ment in (Cm)time,

when I’m (Fm7)rac ing with des ti (Bb)ny.

(Ab)Then (Bb)in that one (Eb)mo ment in (Cm)time I will (Fm)be,

I will (Bbsus4)be,

I will be (Eb)free.

(Eb)I will (Bb7)be, I will be (Eb)free.
