If Only I Could Live My Life Again

If I only could live my life again (SI JE POUVAIS REVIVRE UN JOUR MA VIE)
(P. Delanoë / L. Amade / G. Bécaud, 1958)
Dalida (France)

If only I could live my life again
I wouldn't search for wealth or fame or power
I'd search for friends and if I found a few
I'd serve them well my every waking hour
Oh, to live my life again

If only I could have another chance
I'd spend more time just being nice to people
My soul would find that building with a steeple
If only I could live my life again

If only I could live my life again
I wouldn't take so many things for granted
I wouldn't make the same mistakes again
And I'd destroy each bitter seed I planted
Oh, to live my life again

I'd try to change, to smile a little more
I'd try to change, to always be forgiving
I'd change my ways for as long as I am living
One thing remains in everything I do
I'd never change my endless love for you
