Backstory:

It was my birthday and I always do a bit of reflection. Just seems like so many things are fleeting these days. So I think of this as reflective and empowering!

I Only Get This One 
Amy Clay

Verse 1
When August afternoons hung hazy in the sky
We were runnin’ after dark chasin’ fireflies
When wakin’ up to snow meant a little more sleep
‘Till I heard that plow rumblin’ up the street
Ohhh ohhhh I remember those days

Verse 2
When Fridays were parking lots and bleachers in the cold
Pizza at the local place before they closed
Pancakes at the counter, talkin’ ’bout the night before
And all the backroads we were dyin’ to explore
Ohhh ohhhh  I remember those days

Chorus 1
I’ve been knocked down and
Misunderstood
Reached heights I never thought I could
Clouds roll in, the rain comes and the sky gives way to sun
I remember those days, but I’m not done
‘Cause I only get this one

Instrumental Break (over the verse)

Verse 3
Sharin’ an apartment and workin’ for the rent
Every dollar earned we already spent
When twenty-nine was old enough to have life figured out
And forty felt too far to think about
Ohhh ohhhh I remember those days

Chorus 2
I’ve been knocked down and
Misunderstood
Reached heights I never thought I could
Ready for plenty more trips around the sun
I remember those days, but I’m not done
‘Cause I only get this one

Bridge
No tellin’ just what’s comin’ ‘round the bend
So I’m soakin’ up the bright side from now ‘till the end
Not ready to call it quits – no
I’ve still got miles and miles to go…. 


Final Chorus
I’ve been knocked down and
Misunderstood
Reached heights I never thought I could
Sittin’ with my face turned up toward the sun
I remember those days, but I’m not done
‘Cause I only get this one
I remember those days, but I’m not done
‘Cause I only get this one
