Once in a Lifetime

I can see the light in front of me, as it lifted off her face
There was no reason to be worried now, she said she was here to stay
I've been down this road times before, and always made mistakes
But this time it's going to be different now cause her smiles from a different place
And I, knew the moment that she said, that I could be her man
I knew from that moment on in time, that light it would never end
So I, made a promise to myself that I would never leave
No matter how hard the journey got, I would make our life complete

So I raise, you up, above the water
I raise you up, above the flames
And you'll trust my love, to always protect you
And that's where you'll remain

Some days I like to look behind and other days ahead
As long as I hear you breathing now, I know there is hope again
And the reason that we fell in love, may not always be the same
No matter what the world can throw at us, there'll be no broken chain
Once in lifetime, life gives us, gives us a second chance
Life gives us a fairy-tale and you grab it with both hands
Don't be tempted to let go, and don't you say goodbye
Cause even when the night is dark, your light is still shining bright

So I raise, you up, above the water
I raise you up, above the flames
And you'll trust my love, to always protect you
And that's where you'll remain

Now it's, been awhile since I told you, that I, that I love your laugh
The days just seem to come and go, like waves crashing on the sand
Will you, always tell me when you're down, or will you, keep it to yourself
The moments that we share in life are memories on the wall retelled
So I, reach across and grab your hand, and pull you in real tight
There's no way I'm letting go of you, no matter how hard you try
Don't you, wish sometimes you could rewind and just relive the past
I wouldn't change a thing we've done, but I would love to feel it again

So I raise, you up, above the water
I raise you up, above the flames
And you'll trust my love, to always protect you
And that's where you'll remain
