Lyrics
Once in a Lifetime
c.1987 Steve Waddington
Staying home doesn't really get it
There are other things that I could do
Sometimes I think that I should just forget it
I get a feeling like what's the use
Now that she's gone....she's gone
Once in a Lifetime
It'll only happen once, it'll only happen one time
Once in a Lifetime
It'll only happen once, it'll only happen one time
I think of things that I should have told her
The little things a woman wants to hear
And all the times I forgot to hold her
I guess I never really made it clear
And now she's gone....she's gone...
Once in a Lifetime
It'll only happen once, it'll only happen one time
Once in a Lifetime
It'll only happen once, it'll only happen one time
Let it happen to you......
If you love her, you better let her know
If you love her, you better not let her go
Love is something that you have to win
And you may never get this chance again
If you love her, you better let her know
Really love her, you better not let her go
Once in a Lifetime
It'll only happen once, it'll only happen one time
Once in a Lifetime
It'll only happen once, it'll only happen one time
