When I was younger, I used to wish upon a star Wondering how far in life I'd go, I was quite a dreamer Climbing to the top, I had no time to stop And I did not know that someday I'd look back and understand Everything I wanted was always there at hand If I knew then what I know now I'd take my time and I'd learn how To live each day and make it count If I knew then what I know now I thought I was lucky when fortune came my way Guess everyone could say I had it made But life was empty and time was passing by So I asked myself why I should feel this way And I found out what matters in the end Sometimes a second chance will never come again If I knew then what I know now I'd take my time and I'd learn how To live each day and make it count If I knew then what I know now If I knew then what I know now I'd take my time and I'd learn how To live each day and make it count If I knew then what I know now If I knew then what I know now
