Melissa Polinar "Live Once" (cover)
This is for everyone (as all of my videos and music are intended for).
...but...
I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL HUG TO ALL MY MUSICIAN FRIENDS (fellow singers, songwriters, producers, instrumentalists, youtubers, and family karaoke singers!) WITH THIS ONE. Remember, "you got to find something to sing about."
Not surprised if most of you don't know this song. And as for me, a good song is a good song. It doesn't matter how old, how new, how popular, or how obscure. This one spoke to me. I hope it does with you too.

LYRICS...
"Live Once"
(owens)
I don't speak often 'cause i don't speak well
so every song I write has a story to tell
of all I've learned living with myself
so these are my pearls of wisdom in a nutshell
well, you only live once
so you better think twice
this day will go before you know
so don't waste your time
and when you're standing on a cloud
and when you're fallen on the ground
you gotta find something - something to sing about
don't know much - that much is true
my queries are endless
my answers are a few
and life has caused me to conclude
i can face what I don't know
by singing about what I do
well, you only live once
so you better think twice
this day will go before you know
so don't waste your time
and when you're lost inside yourself
and you can't find your way out
you gotta find something - something to sing about
Bridge:
the world has a way
of wearing you down
and time is not afraid to take its toll
but you can sing through anything
as long as you know
what awaits you at the end of the road
cause you only live once
well, you only live once
so you better think twice
this day will go before you know
so don't waste your time
at the end of the day when you lay your head down
you gotta find something - something to sing about
