| Message: | SORRY to say that Ron and I ever get close to each other. Maybe I to much respect his privacy, to relax, when he was working to get THE GATHERING running "on ground" in Austin, from when I start coming over from Denmark in June 2004. Thank RON for everything - The Gathering will never be the same without you! ERIK I will use this lyric/song lines mention downpages Singer-, songwriters Jimmy Layne Webb`s words to song ONLY ONE LIFE Copyright 1987 White Oak Songs If I remember right this song was dedicated to late MICHAEL BENNETT who was known from Broadway show "A CHORUS LINE". Jimmy and Michael work together to try to gets shows up on Broadway - NO LUCK - Michael was starting to get serious ill before it all started up for real! ONLY ONE LIFE Only one life Just a tiny spark But now that he is gone I`m somewhere in the dark If there are ten million men On this planet tell me then How could only one life Leave such a mark on me One life How could I have known One life Could be such a part of me As precious as my own Only one life Only one life What does it mean? It`s only birth & death & and everything between If living is a pointless chore Just existence nothing more Why does only one life Leave such a emty space One life Make it right or wrong? One life Take a love I can`t replace That always will belong To only one life Just another soul among so many So who cares if one should fall Though we`re small We`re full of magic When we touch the world We change it all With only one life We only have one change to fight But if we live it right All we need is one life To make a difference here One life To say we care to make it clear We have to make it count once and for all With only one life Only one life RECORDED by Glen Campbell + Michael Feinstein ---------------- I be with Mister Jimmy Webb late September in London for TWO concerts. sincerely erik "the Dane" Jimmy Webb AWARDS of interest 1985: Jimmy Webb & Felice & Boudleaux Bryant was elected into Songwriters Hall of Fame same day.
