You Live Only Twice Lyrics
Nancy Sinatra
Lyrics
You only live twice or so it seems,
one life for yourself and one for your dreams.
you drift through the years and life seems tame,
till one dream appears and love is its name.
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
make one dream come true, you only live twice.
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
(from james bond 007 - you only live twice, 1967)
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
make one dream come true, you only live twice.
