Once in a While
My heart is heavy, my conscience bare
Loneliness creeping on empty air
Distracted by a moonbeam that dances in my eye
I can't help but wonder if it's you up in the sky
Still I can't clearly see where I go or where I've been
But looking at the moon, I know that you will let me in
Once in a while, just by chance
Caught in the wrong circumstance
I feel the doubt when the moon goes out
Nobody's in sight
But once in a while, you seem near
Almost as though you were here
My heart can fly, and I know that's why
I'm not afraid to fight
What good are dreamers who stare at night
And what good are moonbeams with clouded light
I know you're up there somewhere, how I wish that I knew where
But my search would be more fitting if I had one dream to spare
For I can't see the use of spending dreams while you're away
If you would only wait for me I'll be with you someday
Once in a while, just by chance
Caught in the wrong circumstance
I feel the doubt when the moon goes out
Nobody's in sight
But once in a while, you seem near
Almost as though you were here
My heart can fly, and I know that's why
I'm not afraid to fight
Oh, once in a while, I go out of my mind
When I look at the sky, and I see only darkness
But I know it will shine if I only believe
In the stars and the moon, and a picture of you
For I can't clearly see where I go or where I've been
But looking at the moon, I know that you will let me in
Once in a while, just by chance
Caught in the wrong circumstance
I feel the doubt when the moon goes out
Nobody's in sight
But once in a while, you seem near
Almost as though you were here
My heart can fly, and I know that's why
I'm not afraid to fight
Loneliness creeping on empty air
Distracted by a moonbeam that dances in my eye
I can't help but wonder if it's you up in the sky
Still I can't clearly see where I go or where I've been
But looking at the moon, I know that you will let me in
Once in a while, just by chance
Caught in the wrong circumstance
I feel the doubt when the moon goes out
Nobody's in sight
But once in a while, you seem near
Almost as though you were here
My heart can fly, and I know that's why
I'm not afraid to fight
What good are dreamers who stare at night
And what good are moonbeams with clouded light
I know you're up there somewhere, how I wish that I knew where
But my search would be more fitting if I had one dream to spare
For I can't see the use of spending dreams while you're away
If you would only wait for me I'll be with you someday
Once in a while, just by chance
Caught in the wrong circumstance
I feel the doubt when the moon goes out
Nobody's in sight
But once in a while, you seem near
Almost as though you were here
My heart can fly, and I know that's why
I'm not afraid to fight
Oh, once in a while, I go out of my mind
When I look at the sky, and I see only darkness
But I know it will shine if I only believe
In the stars and the moon, and a picture of you
For I can't clearly see where I go or where I've been
But looking at the moon, I know that you will let me in
Once in a while, just by chance
Caught in the wrong circumstance
I feel the doubt when the moon goes out
Nobody's in sight
But once in a while, you seem near
Almost as though you were here
My heart can fly, and I know that's why
I'm not afraid to fight
