Only Once
When I was very young
And life was mean
My world was always
Full of dreams
Growing old was far away
No tomorrow just today
Nothing is the way it seemed
I knew that one day
I would fall in love
The way young peope always do
How could I know what lay ahead?
Life played games with me instead
Didn't count on meeting you
Only once
I always thought that love came
Only once
That when you fell
You fell in love to stay
Now all at once
I realize it isn't so
That love can come
And love can go
It happens everyday
She was mine with her
I found a world that couldn't end
Or so I thought right up until today
Then all at once
I moved across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew nothing I could do
Would make me look away.
And life was mean
My world was always
Full of dreams
Growing old was far away
No tomorrow just today
Nothing is the way it seemed
I knew that one day
I would fall in love
The way young peope always do
How could I know what lay ahead?
Life played games with me instead
Didn't count on meeting you
Only once
I always thought that love came
Only once
That when you fell
You fell in love to stay
Now all at once
I realize it isn't so
That love can come
And love can go
It happens everyday
She was mine with her
I found a world that couldn't end
Or so I thought right up until today
Then all at once
I moved across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew nothing I could do
Would make me look away.
